two officiants?

Would it be weird to have my uncle help the pastor of our church officiate the wedding?  He got ordained to do his SIL's wedding and I think that would be kinda cool.  If the pastor and church are cool with it do you think that would be weird?

My parish regularly has co-officiants at regular Sunday services. Nothing strange about it at a wedding.

We are having co-officiants so I don't think it's weird.

My grandfather is opening our ceremony (like a reader) until the point where he'll ask who brings me to be married (wording pending), then our pastor will take over.

I have seen this several times, especially when a family member is a officiant. Just make sure they get introduced if they haven't been already and give them clear expectations of what you expect from them both.

Not weird at all. We had two pastors officiate our wedding because they are both pastors at H's church. They officiate many weddings together, so they already knew how to split things up. One did the welcome, one did the vows, etc.

We had two.  H's pastor and my pastor worked together.  They were happy to do it and it was nice having them both.

My dad is a pastor and he has co-officiated a ton of weddings.  Just make sure that if there is one person who NEEDS to do the legal stuff, you and they both know who it is.
