Who will be the priest to periside your wedding ceremony? Would it be your favorite priest in the community or your cousin who's a priest? My friend planning to get married next year, and she's thinking who will the priest the she is going to invite. She has a priest friend and a cousin priest. Do you think it would be alright if both of them are there?

We used two ministers for our wedding. The fist one was the pastor of the church we were married in. The second was my husbands cousin who was also a minister.  It worked out very nicely.  We told them which one we would like to do what part of the ceremony and it went very smoothly.

Your friend could use them both for the wedding. I've attended a wedding which was con-celebrated by three priests. Of course only one of then signed the marriage contract.

MY FH and I are going to have the pastor from my parish, a family member who is a priest, and a priest who is close to both of us.  The last priest will be the one to give the homily and do the main vows, even though all the other priests will also be there.

I went to a christian school where I had bible class. My bible teacher was also the head of our service club which I was president of. He was a good family friend and my favorite teacher. We have chosen him to preside at our wedding.
