Quaker Ceremonies

Andrea-Nicole

Is anyone considering doing a Quaker Ceremony? (where you get a friend or family member to marry you)

If anyone wants information as to what this is, I'll gladly share.

Just having a friend marry you does not a Quaker wedding make.

Are you affiliated with a local meeting?

We're having a quaker ceremony. It's pretty common in Pennsylvania. A friend of ours is marrying us. We are not doing a traditional one though at the quaker meeting where you sit in silence with the elders. I've never been to a quaker meeting but my FI was a member of his meetinghouse for 20 years. This way we can still have a friend marry us while incorporating his family's ideals. We're excited!

I know that a quaker wedding isn't legal is most states though. It's something to check out before you go ahead with it.
