Getting Ordained?

My fiance and I are trying to decide if we want to find a someone who already performs weddings to do our wedding or if we want to have a relative get ordained.

I've been looking into it but I haven't really found much information.

Has anyone had a wedding or been to a wedding where a family member or close friend performed the wedding? If so, do you know how they went about getting ordained?


Thank-you ladies!

Re: Getting Ordained?

  • Different jurisdictions (city/county) have different rules.  You have to follow the rules for the location where you are getting married.  We got married in RI but live in MA so we had to follow the rules for the city in which we were married in RI.   We found out the key data at that City's website.  Outside of New England, the jurisdiction may be by county, so you may want to check out the county website or call the county seat.
