Officiant for a Day

ShaboAE

Has anyone else done this? FH and I are looking into it. He really didn't want some stranger presiding over our ceremony. Has anyone ever heard of rejections to the application or is it really that straightforward and easy?

straight forward and easy.  I am officiating my sister's wedding this summer!

jsychien

Definitely straightforward and easy.

MandahGirly

Very straightforward and easy - surprising for the state!

just make sure you do it in time, and you're golden. Nothing to worry about

We did it. Our uncle is presiding over the ceremony. Super easy and much cheaper than a JP!

ShaboAE

Awesome! Thanks so much ladies! Now I just have to get FH to decide on who he wants to preside...

I am filling out the form now for my July wedding. What did you guys put for the "reason" on the application? haha

kedoo

I'm doing this too! Yep- wicked easy. The state website lists the steps and timeline etc.
p.s. What will you guys be calling this in the programs? Officiant? Celebrant?

Does anyone have a current website or phone number to obtain an application for this? I keep running in to dead ends unfortunatly.
