Hi ladies! Hope everyone is holding up well in this lovely year we are all trying to plan a wedding in. Just this last week, we postponed our December 18th wedding to May 7, 2021. I do not want to postpone marrying my man, though, so we just finally got our appointment to review our marriage application with NYC Project Cupid thing since we can't go in person to get our marriage license.
Side note: For any of you who need to start this process soon, I highly suggest following @NYCClerk on Twitter and setting alerts on their tweets - these appointments book up insanely quick and we just barely got an appointment to REVIEW our application just 4 days before our originally scheduled wedding date. They are all booked up until Dec. 14, which was just released this morning.
Anyway... I now need to figure out how to actually get married since the City Clerk isn't allowing couples to come in person for their actual civil ceremony and I can't wait until my appointment to find out since that isn't even until 4 days before we are planning on legally tying the knot. Their website says all ceremonies need to be done through a private officiant, but I don't even know where to start with finding private officiants during covid. I know I could always google and do the research but was hoping to reach out to any other NYC/Queens/Long Island brides who might have some suggestions or even recommendations for a person/company who I could book a private ceremony with.
*another mention - I do have family members who are lawyers/judges and know a few people who are officiants, but I kind of wanted to keep this super low key and don't really want to have to choose who will marry us from a group of people we know.
Thanks in advance!
Erin
