I am the first to admit that I am being particular in my search--I do care about who is marrying me to my hubby. I have been looking for an officiant and my search hasn't been very successful. I know many people have their officiant search easier by doing their wedding in a chuch, which I am not, or choosing a religious mentor which I don't have.
I am looking for a non-religious ceremony, and I have had some basic communications with some self-advertised officiants that would send me their basic Christian ceremony as a response. I find that rude and insulting, and I have been struggling with finding someone who seems like a reasonable, understanding person who would be happy to do the kind of ceremony that my fiance and I would like.
Does anyone have any leads? How did you find your officiant? And why, oh, why are these people oblivious to the fact that sending religious quotes to someone requesting a non-religious ceremony is rude?
Re: Finding an Officiant
Thanks for the help guys. I ended up following your advice and contacting Sensational Ceremonies. Lon Tosi did contact me, but the interview didn't go well. I didn't really like him, and his energy didn't match up with us or our wedding. I was disappointed for a bit, but decided to try to interview someone else from the same company, and scheduled a meeting with Debbie Swan. I found that we meshed with her much better, and she was excited to hear about what we already know about our wedding before making suggestions or offering information.
