Officiate at Their Weddings
Unless you have this tool!
In recent years, there's been a notable trend towards having friends officiate weddings for a more intimate and personalized experience. While this choice fosters a deep connection between the couple and their officiant, it often means navigating unfamiliar territory for the chosen friend.
