In 2019, my daughter’s best friend was getting married. We showed up to rehearsal to assist with preparations only to be met with panic. Her mother & sisters were frantically looking for an officiant. Why? The pastor overbooked himself and backed out… right before the rehearsal! I jumped into the search but we all came up empty-handed. The rest is history! Beyond booking concerns of having limited officiants available to perform services during the busy seasons, there seems to be a great amount of judgement at play when your traditional officiants won’t perform a marriage ceremony. This is not something you have to worry about with me.
