In the process of planning a May wedding in Rosemary beach. The one thing not nailed down is the clergy. Anyone have a recommendation on a wedding officiant? Thanks.

Interesting. Someone recently told me that any Public Notary has the authority to perform a wedding ceremony.

Ohmygod! That means the Queen of Kickball could do it! How fun would that wedding be?!

:clap_1: ...I can't wait until sarafunn gets married at the beach and John R and drukkenartist officiate! Then we will have three bands...Dread, Waco and Dikki Du. The art taxi will drive her away. Smiling Joe will be the photographer, Kurt will videotape. Spidey will be the ring buoy and Princess Kate and Olivia will be the flower gulls.

:scratch: ...now, she just has to find THE MAN! 😀

I have no videotape, and I am THE MAN. :twisted:

Yes, my friend in Jax became a Notary so she could officiate the beach wedding of some close friends.

I wonder if that was my sister you are talking about? She did just that! I however went the other route. I did the online thing, just to perform a wedding! Its legal, in most states, you have to check first. I am, however, going to do the Notary thing as well.

Can't wait to stamp some butts!:doh:

OK - I have been a notary for over 25 years and in the State of Illinois it is not legal to marry anyone. In countries like Mexico it is considered along the lines of an attorney - but a notary here basically just verifies that the signature on the document is really the signed by the person or to verify an oath or affirmation. Don't know what the rules are in other states - but I would be very careful about letting a notary perform my wedding (unless I really didn't want to get married)
