Officiant Needed for Halloween Wedding!

You're just now looking for an officiant? Um...

Ours backed out. So yes. We are.

Since it sounds like you're already married... just ask a friend. Or if you're set on having an actual officiant do your wedding, check the vendor tab in your area.

Location?

Have you tried the vendor search?

Google?

How did your inlaws mess up the wedding?

I have an honest question. Are you willing to pay for the officiant's costume? Good costumes are expensive.

The in-laws requested we wait at least two years and have a long engagement. Which we didn't honor that request. When we invited them to the small ceremony we decided on, they wouldn't commit to coming. Instead, they showed up late, stopped the ceremony and pulled my husband aside and tried to talk him out of marry me. His mother cried during the ceremony and openly begged her husband to "do something" and he loudly assured her he had thirty days to contest the wedding. I worked for his step-father in a law firm and he reminded me over the next thirty days that at any time he could contest the wedding. That is for starters, it only became progressively worse as the months rolled on. We haven't talked to them in almost a year and have no plans to in the near future.

"they showed up late, stopped the ceremony and pulled my husband aside and tried to talk him out of marry me"

Yeah that counts as your in-laws ruining your wedding. WOW

So wait... are you officially married? If so you don't need an officiant. Get some homeless guy to do it and you'll be fine!

Contact local theatre companies.

I am so sorry they did this to you. IMO you should certainly have another wedding - sheesh! if it's any consolation, I'm sure all that were there didn't hold it against you.

Since there's nothing legal to worry about, sounds like you can have pretty much anyone do it-

since you'd like someone to dress up and be in character, have you considered some theater groups in your area? either way, sounds like it's going to be one cool night! can't wait to see pictures and all

Have your most theatric friend do it, since its actually a vow renewal, not a wedding.

Wow - so sorry!! I'm glad you are getting the ceremony that you and DH want

Wow, this is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. What area are you from?

What @Elizabeth said - if you guys are already officially married, then a friend conducting the wedding won't make a difference.

There was another bride on WW who had halloween themed wedding with a Nightmare before Christmas cake....wonder if her BAM is still up...

ETA: Yep... https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/bam-love-being-married-to-my-bestfriend/e7672a09f3e04c01.html

I love the idea of a theater group or a friend that is theatrical. Thank you so much! Such a great idea!

I don't like vow renewals this early in a marriage.....but I'd say this makes for one big exception!! Sounds like it will be phenomenal!!

You know....you don't have to have an actual Officiant?

Hi! Please change your avatar! The rings are associated with trolls/spam. Also, it will help other WW brides start to recognize you and you will get more responses.

Oh my gosh, that takes the cake for official worst in-law ceremony story. I'm sorry. Yeah, have a theatrical friend do it! Sounds like it'll be a fun party. Best wishes!
