Having a Friend Perform your Wedding

Krisi Geier & Christopher Wagnon were married at Saguaro Buttes on January 2nd by a close friend, Nixon, who did a wonderful job of performing the wedding ceremony and also adding a little humor to it. (He used quotes from Dr. Suess, Green Eggs and Ham) Having a friend or relative perform your wedding ceremony can make it special and much more memorable but it also can be an iffy proposition, as many times they have not done many ceremonies or any for that matter.  They get nervous, forget stuff, etc. and then feel bad that they didn’t do a good job for the Bride and Groom. Nixon did a wonderful job, and was a natural, but this is not always the case. Sometimes family members who may be members of the Clergy, would rather enjoy the ceremony than perform it. These are all things to consider when selecting who you will have perform your wedding ceremony.
