Officate a wedding

Hi There, I have a general question. My best friend is getting married in 15 months and the couple asked if I could officiate. Now, I was honoured but looking at it in a practical sense, I have reservations. eg the course, costs and ongoing registration. Let alone the nerves about doing this right, without messing it up. Besides this isn't going to be a side career going forward. However, I'm keen to make it happen in some fashion or another. What is the bare minimum officiate input from a celebrant? Can myself and family to bulk of the vows and readings etc? Any advice would be helpful. Regards Angelo

Ceremonies by Ryn

Hi, it is an honour to be asked to officate at your best friends wedding. You would need to do a course which most are online and take approximately 3-6mths to complete and then another 3 months approximately to register with the Attorney General's office.

Your other option is to have a registered marriage celebrate attend the ceremony to do the actual legal stuff and then you could everything else.

Can my vows be funny?

Ceremonies by Ryn

Absolutely, wedding vows can be funny while still being heartfelt and meaningful. Humour can lighten the mood, show off your personalities and mke the moment even more memorable.

Funny vows can include, inside jokes, playful promises, and funny moments in your relationship journey.
