Running Late?

A last minute ceremony doesn't have to be a headache.  You might be surprised to know how many couples would rather dispense with all the hooplah and have an intimate gathering of friends, leaving the details to the last minute.  If your officiant is free on the day of your choosing, it is no big deal to accomodate your needs.  The fee might be a little less, in fact, as the officiant may have an opening to fill.  Call the officiant.  He or she will ask you a few questions:  what, where, when, who, how many, etc.  Let the officiant know if you have preferences of religious or non-religious ceremony.  If you want something and don't know where to find it, your officiant can guide you to vendors who can help you.  An experienced officiant will have a list of things you might need and know just where to send you. I have done several of these ceremonies with very short notice.  They are just as beautiful as those that are planned months ahead and equally as memorable.
