The Anonymous Officiant: Moving Past a Wedding Day Mistake

A wedding day mistake couldn't keep this minister from pursuing their calling...

 

 

“A few years ago, I performed my first wedding and married one of my old managers and her partner when they were in need of an officiant. 

 

Well during the ceremony, I got a little nervous and I accidentally said the bride’s middle name wrong…

 

She corrected me quietly, so I would reread her line over again. (It wasn’t something I meant to do, I was having a language barrier with some words.) 

 

Even with that little mess up, that wedding changed my view on marrying people – because hearing them say “I do,” and being able to say “You may kiss the bride!” was just absolutely heartwarming! 

 

I can’t wait for my next wedding coming up in a few weeks.”
