PRIEST ON SICK LEAVE!!!! wedding in 2.5 weeks...

Is there a priest at the church your getting married at that can marry you guys?

Why can't you ask the priest if he is a family friend to help aid in the search rather than his church?

Also I am super curious about what a "sochi emergency call" is for a makeup artist! That's stressful but cool

I don't get how an officiant (and a family friend no less) can go on sick leave without having a plan for what might happen to their couples. My contract says that if I'm dead or kidnapped by Aliens, I'll find a suitable officiant from my colleagues to perform a ceremony that has already been written and approved.

You don't want to leave this until the last minute, (and it doesn't sound like you have), but you want some answers and fast.

Good luck!

Does he not have a replacement to fill his spot? what about the church you are getting married in they must have a priest?

that is really crappy though

It's a bit more complicated as we rented a church to have our ceremony in and was going to use the priest of our parish. And he was ok with it( our parish isn't very beautiful) and it would be great to contact my priest( not so much of a family friend but he taught my dad when he was younger so he is more then just a priest to us. And i'm sure they will find someone. But he won't be french which is a tad disappointing as i won't be having the priest say a few things in french. But really all i want is to be married. I had my melt down yesterday about it all. Today i feel much better about it.

I didn't want a church wedding but my mom really wanted us to so we compromised as we really liked our priest. But now that we don't have him i wish i would have gone the other route. Seems like every time i compromise for others it back fires on me! So note to self. Putting myself first for a while haha.
