My pastor backed out the wedding....he told us yesterday that he will not be able to marry us!!! Grrr I'm so mad... Wait till I have 90 days left to tell me, he's moving...that's his reason

I'm sure you'll find someone there's still plenty of time. You could ask the person at your place of worship that will be replacing your pastor. Or if you don't want to ask that you could ask your pastor who he might know that would be willing to marry you.

I'm sorry to hear that Kori!

I hope you find a suitable replacement in time! Good Luck!!

Good luck finding a new officiant! I'd also suggest asking for his replacements information.

If you aren't super stuck on having a pastor do it, maybe a family or friend can. You can get ordained online, my godmother is doing mine.

90 days should be enough time. i think you'll be ok

If you decide to do this make sure you check the requirements for the state you're getting married in.  I know in Missouri, for example, the person performing the ceremony actually has to have a current congregation or previously had a congregation.

That's not cool! You'll be able to find one though. I'm just now starting to look for one (we had one, but he was having a lot of medical issues, so he said if we'd like to look elsewhere, he understood. I really liked him, but I wouldn't be able to handle it if he got sick or something the week/day of our wedding). Does your pastor have any suggestions?

In Response to Omgosh!!!:

Depending on your state, you may be able to have a family member or friend marry you. Check your requirements - in my state, you have to pay $25, fill out a form or two, and IIRC submit two personal character references (for the person seeking the temporary legal status to marry other people).
