Friend for Officiant

Summer, on August 30, 2020 at 10:01 PM Posted in Tennessee Planning 0 2
Hello! I’m getting married in Knoxville, Tn, November 2021, and I was wondering how to go about getting my friend to be a legitimate officiant? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Summer! Unfortunately Tennessee passed a new state law last July that no longer recognizes online ordinations as valid (which is how friends/family members have previously been able to officiate weddings). The law also specifically covers the Universal Life Church.

    What about hiring an officiant but having your friend do a reading or deliver the homily?

    I’m not sure what the homily is, but I guess we will have to find someone else. Thank you for the help
