Wedding season is here again, and my calendar is filling up – not just as a guest.
Over the past 15 years, I have officiated over 20 weddings for friends and family, plus nearly 200 more as a part-time professional wedding officiant. These weddings have ranged from simple elopements to fancy ceremonies before hundreds of guests. They have taken place at farms, beaches, mountaintops, hotels, wineries, and warehouses – but never at a church. They have been secular, spiritual, religious, and interfaith.
