I lurk here a lot, and everyone is always so helpful so I thought I'd give it a shot.  I'm getting married in Kildeer at the end of September and our officiant just told us he can't make it.  We are really in a scramble to find someone and would really like a secular officiant (a judge or just someone not affiliated with any religion).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    Depending on your county, you may be able to ask a friend or family member to be ordained through one of the Universal Life Churches online.

    Then you can work with someone close to you to write a ceremony entirely to your liking. Since that's what we did (and we wrote a secular ceremony) I don't have any other recommendations but I'm sure some other Knotties do.

    Good luck!

    Here's the officiant that we're looking at. She seems really great and might be what you're looking for :)
    Her name is Marguerite Griffin with Meaningful Moments. The website is: http://meaningfulmarguerite.com/
    Hope that helped. Good luck!
