I will be conducting my first wedding as a minister. What do you remember about the minister that married you or when you attended a wedding. Good and Bad.

Our minister earned my undying gratitude by paying my hair & makeup artist! I forgot my purse and had no money to pay him, my fiance didn't have enough cash on him, and, of course, I was in a panic, since the wedding was mere hours away.
In swooped the minister, saying that he always brings extra cash to these things because something like this always happens.
Of course, we called friends who were coming to wedding and had them get cash so we could pay the minister back immediately after the ceremony.

My husband and I met quite a few times with the minister before the ceremony to discuss ceremony structure. We wanted to change a few things from the by-the-book ceremony. Really, these weren't earth shattering changes, I mean little things like having the minister ask "Who brings this woman to marry this man?" instead of "Who gives this woman away?"
During these meetings, he resisted a little but always said that it all boils down to what we want because it is our wedding. During rehearsal, everything was fine. But for the wedding ceremony, he disregarded everything we talked about and read straight from his book anyway.
Don't do that.

I think a nice thing you can do for the wedding couple is to give them a nice copy of their vows. There are many variations out there and in retrospect I wish that I had asked for a copy of ours. Our minister was very kind and patient. I think the biggest thing you can do is keep a sense of humor about yourself. Weddings are very nerve-racking and the couple needs to be at ease. I believe it is the minister's duty to help provide the couple some peace. Good luck! I hope you enjoy your new career!

He was southern Baptist and within the prayer stated I wanted to recall my place was to be subservient to my husband . . . It used to be offensive. (much more offensive looking again on the grounds that I supported his sorry self and two children for years handiest to be mistreated. He most likely didn't think his possess faith, however but I was once supposed to be subservient to him.) Weddings i've performed for: i know quite a lot of evangelical ministers like to vary their respiratory patterns to the place they may be able to barely be understood. Somehow it continually comes out within the final prayer . . . IMHO it calls awareness to the minister and could be very distracting from the rationale of the marriage ceremony. Non individuals take a seat there questioning if the man is about to have an bronchial asthma or panic assault. My former BIL survived evangelical ministers through counting of the quantity of occasions they loudly trap their breath . . . Then his buddies would bet on this after the service. I feel for those who don't forget to put the Lord and the couple first, you will do fine.

He used to be southern Baptist and within the prayer stated I had to keep in mind my situation used to be to be subservient to my husband . . . it used to be offensive. (Even extra offensive watching again considering I supported his sorry self and 2 kids for years handiest to be mistreated. He absolutely didn't feel his possess faith, however but I used to be intended to be subservient to him.) Weddings I have performed for: I recognise plenty of evangelical ministers love to difference their respiring styles to in which they are able to slightly be understood. Somehow it regularly comes out within the last prayer . . . IMHO it calls concentration to the minister and may be very distracting from the intent of the marriage ceremony. Non participants take a seat there thinking about if the fellow is approximately to have an bronchial asthma or panic assault. My former BIL survived evangelical ministers via counting of the quantity of instances they loudly trap their breath . . . then his peers might wager in this after the provider. I believe when you keep in mind to position the Lord and the couple first, you are going to do first-class.
