5. What should I expect from a wedding officiant?
- The Declaration of Intent (leading the couple through the “I DO” stage)
- The Pronouncement (where the minister officially pronounces the couple is legally married)
- The Signing and Legal Filing of the Marriage Certificate (which must be done to record with the state of Arizona that your marriage is legal)
In real life, however, you can and should expect your officiant to be a bigger part of the ceremony. I am also responsible for:
- Ceremony style: working with the couple to create a ceremony that that is unique and reflective of their own personalities and beliefs.
- Arranging the details: Helping the couple choose readings, craft vows if desired, and determine which elements of the ceremony will be included. Some examples might be a handfasting, a unity candle ceremony, or a sand ceremony. Each of these are elements of the larger ceremony, that focuses on the couple uniting as one either by binding hands together with ribbon, uniting two flames together as one, or combining two vessels of sand into one. They all represent the same concept of a conscious intent to unite as one.
