Bride+Groom+Officiant= Marriage

Some people tend to forget that you may need an officiant to really get married. Without someone with a license to marry, it may not be official. I think people tend to forget that having a pastor, minister or officiant present they are the most important person there besides the bride and groom.

The trend lately seems to be outside ceremonies or ceremonies not in a traditional church. Many people who move here out of town or that aren't members of churches here in the south and are unable to get married in a church. So many are turning to other options. We are here to help! We know that it is important to your special day that you like the person marrying you.

Some now are even offering premarital counseling along with your ceremony. One of our vendors- B4IDO is a premarital class at Church at Charlotte that provides a place to turn to for couples in Charlotte. Check out more information on their website or at our January 8th show- http://www.churchatcharlotte.org/site/index.php/page/1547/

Check out these websites for a number of well known and reviewed reverends, pastors and officiants to be sure to find the right fit for your wedding ceremony. What are you going to do if they don't show up?! Ask your Uncle Bob to step in with his online certificate, NO DON'T DO it!!! Choose from these sites for trusted officiants to make it official!
