Certifying a friend
|
| |
We would really like to have a good friend
marry us, but we're not sure how to get him certified. We're in California
Each state has its own requirements about who can perform
a wedding and California is more strict than many other states. For
instance, CA does not recognize ministers who reside in other states
unless those ministers first obtain a license in CA, when many other
states allow a minister to perform a wedding no matter where he lives.
Call your local marriage license bureau and ask them who
can perform a wedding in California and what the licensing requirements
are. If your friend is unable to legally marry you, he/she can still
participate in the ceremony. Then, when it comes time to give you the
official vows, a licensed minister or judge can do that part of the
ceremony, with your friend taking over again after you have recited the
vows.
