HAVING A DESTINATION WEDDING POSES A FEW TRICKY HURDLES...ONE OF THE FIRST ORDERS OF BUSINESS, FINDING A LEGIT WEDDING OFFICIANT FOR THE BIG DAY.
WE WOULD LOVE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO IS A LITTLE OFFBEAT WITH A GREAT ATTITUDE. SOMEONE WITH A GREAT LOOK, HEAVILY TATTOOED, PIERCINGS, PERHAPS EVEN A VAUDVILLIAN STYLE, COMPLETE WITH HANDLEBAR MUSTASHE?
WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH REQUIREMENTS? I POSTED AN AD ON CRAIGSLIST A WEEK AGO AND GOT NOTHING BUT SPAM THUS FAR...I JUST POSTED A SHORT WANTED BLOG ON MY MYSPACE PAGE http://www.myspace.com/stellaranae SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I DID SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON THE UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH WEBSITE http://www.themonastery.org/?destination=main THEY HAVE A LIST BY STATE OF AVAILABLE OFFICIANTS BUT SURPRISINGLY VEGAS DID NOT HAVE TOO MANY. PENNSYLVANIA, HOWEVER HAD PAGES AND PAGES. SO WHAT DO I UP AND DO?
I SIGNED UP TO BECOME A REVERAND AS WELL. I AM OFFICALLY ORDAINED! I WAS TINGLING ALL OVER WITH THE PROSPECT THAT I COULD HAVE SUCH A NEAT WAY TO SHARE IN A COUPLES HAPPINESS. PROBLEM IS, THE LAW IS MORE THAN A LITTLE GREY IN THE AREA OF PERFORMING MARRIAGES IN PENNSYLVANIA. I WILL BE SPENING A LITTLE TIME AT THE COURTHOUSE NEXT WEEK TO SEE IF THIS CAN BE CLEARED UP, SO I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED...
SO BACK TO MY OFFICIANT DELIMMA...VLV HAS A BLOG! TOM HAS BEEN GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO HAVE A BLOG FOR VLV TO FIND IT YOU CAN GO TO MY MYSPACE PAGE www.myspace.com/stellaranae AND CLICK ON THE GROUPS I AM ASSOCIATED WITH FROM THERE YOU CAN GET ALL KINDS OF INFO ON THEIR SITE DIRECTLY IT IS http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.groupprofile&groupID=100087878 ... I DID POST THERE SO HOPEFULLY I WILL GET RESPONSE OR TWO? I AM REALLY HOPING SOMEONE IN OUR SAME CIRCLE OF KUSTOM KULTURE MAY ACTUALLY BE ORDAINED? WE WILL KEEP YA POSTED:)
I HAVE NOT FOUND MUCH ELSE ON THE SUBJECT. I COULD NOT BELIVE THAT THE WEDDING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD DOES NOT HAVE MORE UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL OFFICIANTS RIGHT OFF THE CUFF. SO, PERHAPS I MUST DIG A LITTLE DEEPER....
Stella, I found your blog from a link on OffBeat Bride. My FH and I are getting married in Vegas on Halloween this year....did you ever have luck in your offbeat officiant search? I have been having the same problems!!! Would love the tattooed and pierced option as well. If you have any info, can you shoot me a message? mywedding.com/seanloveserika
