THE WEDDING OFFICIANT IS

THE KEY TURNER and considering

 this auspicious role in a wedding, he

 or she sometimes receives the least

 thought as the couple compares the

 personalities to be put in place for

 the wedding day. This is especially

 the case when the couple chooses

 to marry in other than accustomed

 circumstances.

So let’s talk about the officiant or minister you select to conduct the ceremony that unites the two of you as husband and wife in holy matrimony. Choosing an officiant is a consideration of being comfortable with a person. In the preliminary meeting with the officiant, the couple should project how the person will look conducting the ceremony or what he or she will sound like. Is there a bit of humor and softness in his or her manner? Will the officiant be stiff and formal or will the person be engaging and gracious? Do you feel a kinship with this person in terms of values and beliefs? Are you comfortable with the ceremony he or she has sketched out?
