How Wedding Officiant Works
The marriage is between two individuals and the family’s support and cheers are important. I will be happy to talk with parents or guardians if they are reluctant about the marriage. Here is the general process
- The initial conversation with the Wedding Officiant Dr. Mike Ghouse
- A 30 points Questionnaire follows to design the wedding proceeding.
- A conversation about handling the differences.
- Guidance on handling religious festivals at ease.
- Dealing with raising children (if at all).
- Incorporate the Bride/Groom’s social, religious, or cultural traditions
- A draft outline of the ceremony will be prepared by the Officiant.
- The couple will review and modify the outline at least three times
- The officiant will perform the wedding per the agreed outline.
