A Friend Is A Friend Is A Friend – Including A Friend In Your Marriage Ceremony! Copyright - The ClergyNetwork - February 19th 2011
Someone once said that “Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.” Including a friend or friends in a marriage ceremony is a pleasant trend. In writing a marriage ceremony, which includes the interaction of others, a few thoughts start the planning. Questions, such as, Whom? Where? When? How? Each question needs some thought.

Southern California - What Makes A Person A Legitimate Wedding Officiant, Wedding Minister or Wedding Clergy? - www.legallymarried.com
The State of California posts the following as a legitimate Wedding Officiant, Wedding Minister or Wedding Clergy. Please note that “authority” to preside a wedding ceremony does not speak to the issue of competency! Any group can form a “religious non-profit”, and “ordain for profit”, thus so many tragic wedding stories of couples weddings ruined by officiators who only purchased the “authority” to marry via the Internet. This is an illegitimate way to become an officiator, without education or training in public speech presentation, marriage law, ceremony writing, social psychology, etc., there is no competency - the obligation is not taken seriously! “Pocket change” wedding officiants are phenomena in this current economy. The state of California’s CDC posts the following:"4. What authorization do I need to perform a marriage in California?
• In California, it is the ordination or investment by the denomination that gives each clergy member the authority to perform the marriage rite. Family Code, Sections 400-402 are the statutes pertaining to who can solemnize a marriage in California.
5. What statutes do I need to know to perform a marriage in California?
• The marriage officiant who performs the marriage ceremony must know the California laws regarding the performance of a marriage and the requirements for officiants. Family Code, Sections 420-425 are the statutes pertaining to the performance of a marriage in California. Please visit http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/ for the full Family Code sections.

Anaheim Wedding Officiant - Trusting A Wedding Officiator That You Don't Know
What To Look Out For When Selecting An Anaheim Wedding Officiant - A few Suggestions
1. Is part of a Wedding Officiator On-line Directory - If so, referrals are not credible, as these officiators are only referred because they pay for the advertising space. They are not veted, and are more than likely not "real" wedding officiators. This is the case in most all on-line Southern California Wedding Officiator groups, expect for The Clergy Network.
2. Is an independent officiator, (working without partnerships), such as Reverend__________, as this does not give choice of wedding officiator, nor does it guarantee Emergency Backup in the event of that officiators illness or inavailability. The Clergy Network guarantees Emergency Wedding Officiant backup in our Officiants service contract.

Wedding Ceremony Customs - Including The Father of The Bride and The Father of The Groom In The Wedding Ceremony
June 21st 2009 – Happy Father’s Day – Including Dad In the Wedding Ceremony – The Clergy Network of Southern California - Example - Multicultural Wedding in Los Angeles, CaliforniaWedding Tradition should include the father of the bride and the father of the groom. If the relationship between the bride and her father, and that of the groom and his father are favourable, there a many ways in which to provide a more active role to the same. As a wedding ceremony officiator I have often included the fathers in the wedding ceremony, either during the writing of the ceremony, or in the ceremony itself. Let’s look at one recent Clergy Network ceremony which included Dr. Linda of AskDr.Linda, a TCN wedding officiator presided:

Pre- Wedding Ceremony Scenario- The bride was from the Philippines and the groom was Russian. In this custom written Clergy Network wedding ceremony text, Dr. Linda, in conjunction with the bride and groom, wrote a “Welcome to the Guests” in English, which was then translated into Tagala and Russian.
Conclusion – Such a simple suggestion is rather profound, as it is not often included in the wedding ceremony. Whether there are several native languages represented through the respective families of the bride and groom, or not, there is no mandatory wedding day tradition for which the father of the groom and/or the father of the bride are to be precluded from verbal participation. If the father of the bride and/or groom is not given to public speech, even these “welcomes” can be pre-recorded and then played by a D.J. at the start of the wedding ceremony.In short, the fathers’ may write the “welcome” which may be read by the wedding officiator or another, or write and read a “welcome to the guests”. This unexpected personal greeting from the fathers’, at the “start” of the marriage ceremony, sets the right tone of involvement for the guests themselves. In short, someone they know is saying “go ahead, feel invited. Laugh, cry, applaud, and by all means enjoy!” It makes all the difference in this wedding officiant’s vast experience.

Private Home - Wedding Ceremony At Home - Comfortable Meets Chaos

So, for the sake of argument, let’s take the “comfortable” attribute of a home wedding ceremony environment. By “flipping the coin”, “comfortable” can become “disorganized, chaotic, and dysfunctional” in short order. Why? By way of introduction let’s start with the following: Potential Problem: In a “familiar” or “comfortable” environment, the
importance of following a time schedule is often overlooked or dismissed or canceled out, as it seems to run counter to “familiar” or “comfortable”. Even the most innocent dismissal of time can be attributed to the nature of the “home”, a place where time can stand still, a haven of rest from the fast paced world outside.
When it comes to the notion of a "timeline" putting a damper on things, the reverse is really true, for the few hours which comprise the wedding ceremony and reception go quickly. Without the mapping of and adherence to a timeline, the most important events of the day may be sacrificed at the “altar of comfortability”. In short, this is when “comfortable” and “casual” become the twin nemeses of the “sacredness” or “seriousness” of the marriage ceremony day. Things get overlooked or cut out or forgotten, as they threaten the “feeling” of “comfortable”.

Part 2- Mother Of Bride & Deceased Father Of Bride Gives Daughter Away! Dana Point, California
Dana Point California- Remembering A Loved One During The Wedding Ceremony- The Clergy Network Wedding Officiators of Southern California.More To This California True Life Wedding Ceremony Story- After the TCN wedding officiant's questions of "Who presents", the Mother of The Bride lifted her arms toward the Dana Point harbour, and said, "I and her father do". Not only was the father of the bride's ashes scattered in the harbour some 9 years ago, but his ashes were also present in a religious symbol.
Part 2 Of The Story- A small cross tied with ribbon on mother of the bride's corsage, as a part of her wrist, also pointed to Dana Point harbour. Inside this cross was the bride's late father's ashes. The bride and her mother, Roman Catholic in faith, had long since cherished this religious piece as a daily reminder of their loved one. This wedding ceremony moment made even more meaningful to the bride and her mother through this gesture.Follow Us - www.twitter.com/legallymarried
