I've run into an interesting situation recently where a client met with their Officiant many months before the day of the Wedding. Through one error or another, the Officiant was told the Ceremony would start at 4pm. Months later when my client sent out their wedding invitations to their guests they listed the Ceremony to start at 4:30pm. Their "oops" moment came when they neglected to tell the Officiant of the time change so this individual booked another wedding at 5:30pm that same afternoon.
When I made the vendor confirmation calls after being hired only 10 short days before the Wedding, I discovered the error (THANK GOODNESS) and was able to rectify the situation. However, after talking with a trusted colleague and friend, Bethel of Ceremonies by Bethel, I was convinced to become a legitimate ordained Officiant so I can perform Wedding Ceremonies, and sign the documents, if push came to shove. So, I won't be going out and promoting myself as a Wedding Officiant, buuuuut... in an emergency situation I can host the Ceremony so my clients still have the Wedding of their dreams. I'm definitely going to keep my fingers crossed that I'll never have to use it anyway! Until next time...
You cut the cake; I'll cut the chaos!
