Professional Wedding Officiate Training
WHAT IS A PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED WEDDING OFFICIANT?
A professionally trained Wedding Officiant is a person who is specifically trained in every aspect of The Wedding Day.
A Wedding Officiate doesn't need to be an Traditionally Ordained Minister who is professionally trained in the creeds and dogmas of a specific religion. But should be ordained as a non-denominational or all-faiths Minister professionally trained in Wedding Ministry. Nondenominational Ordination Training will be included in this course.
A Wedding is not the place to preach or teach guests concerning any particular religion! The Wedding Ceremony is a time to celebrate the union in love. The Wedding Day is all about loving and being loved. The Wedding Ceremony celebrates love in all of its aspects and dimensions, particularly the love of family, and most specifically, the love between a man and a woman that causes them to want to live together in the holy state of marriage.
The Wedding Officiant who is going to marry the bride and groom needs to know how to prepare a very loving and meaningful ceremony.
The Act of Marriage is an action of The State - not The Church of any organized religion.
We have separation of Church and State In the United States.
A marriage sets up many levels of legalities in a couple's life. A marriage creates automatic inheritance rights. A marriage creates community property. A marriage establishes the right to be present at death and to make all decisions concerning the death of each other and members of the immediate family. A married person is possibly now eligible for insurance benefits of their spouse. Marriage provides tax benefits for some couples. While Marriage is a sacred and profound transition in the life of a man and a woman, it also creates very binding legal boundaries.
To be the person who is going to take a couple through this transition and is going to sign the marriage license that sets up these legal boundaries, you must be a consummate professional.
