Your wedding officiant or celebrant is the person who will preside over the actual wedding ceremony. In other words, they give a bit of a speech (usually about love), hear your vows, and pronounce you married.
Because your officiant will to some extent shape your wedding ceremony, it is very important that you choose an officiant with whom you are comfortable.
First and foremost, be sure that your chosen celebrant is legally allowed to preside over weddings in your state and county. It’s not common, but there are brides and grooms who’ve said their vows, only to discover later that their weddings were not, in fact, legal!
Religious brides and grooms should look first to their own house of worship if they belong to one because it may be that their priest, rabbi, or other religious leader can perform the ceremony.
Those couples who aren’t members of a house of worship, but still want a religious wedding ceremony, may find that they have to join one before they can be married in that faith. That might mean a time commitment, a financial commitment, or just a round of pre-marital counseling.

Wedding Contract Advice from The Wedding Professor
Known across the matrimonial world as The Wedding Professor, Richard Cadieux has been a certified wedding consultant since 2002 and has lent his expertise at more than 500 weddings. Most brides-to-be have little to no experience negotiating contracts, which means much of what is promised to them by wedding vendors never gets put into writing. Consequently, those brides-to-be risk not only being taken advantage of, but also being left without any legal recourse. But The Wedding Professor’s new eBook changes all that and puts the power of negotiation into the hands of brides and grooms, who are the customer and who, in most cases, are making quite significant investments. If you’re a bride or groom looking for wedding contract advice, and think it’s a smart idea to protect yourself and your money, visit his blog today.
