I was a little stressed out about who was going to officiate our ceremony. I didn't want a friend or family member, although I did want an elder in our community and someone with a message to share. Even though we are marrying at a winery and not a church, I knew we wanted more of a traditional Christian ceremony. Not knowing what to do, I sort of pushed it to the back of the list, knowing that it would eventually get sorted out.
I was quite happy to hear that my Mom Barrettes took the initiative to ask the Pastor of our church in Hershey, Derry Presbyterian Church, if he was interested. He definitely appeared to be at the time, and quite more so when he found out it would be in Napa. (Seriously, who can resist?) I then emailed him with pictures of Ryan and I and asked him if he would marry us....how cute! He agreed and now we have our Officiant! I'm so thrilled to have Dr. Houtz onboard. He has known me since I was a wee girl and his presence and blessing will make the day that much more special to everyone!
How did you choose your officiant?
