Being asked to conduct a wedding ceremony for a friend or family member is a serious responsibility, but it can also be a lot of fun! Every couple is unique, and the same is true of wedding ceremonies – there’s no one right way to conduct one. Talk to the couple ahead of time to figure out how to make the experience personal, fulfilling, and joyful for them and for you. Before the ceremony, familiarize yourself with the relevant laws in your area, and make sure you are qualified to officiate. Prepare in advance so that you can conduct the ceremony smoothly and with confidence.
