Question About Wedding Officiant

In my opinion this could be one of two things (note: coming from someone who is not necessarily familiar with various religions)

1. Some religions/churches/etc. require that couples complete marriage counseling or some variation before they can be married in that setting. These could be marriage counseling type questions...ex: what's your plan for finances, living together, are you able to communicate effectively as a couple, how you deal with conflict as a couple, etc.

2. How well do you know your uncle? How well do he and FH know each other? This is such a personal experience for your uncle to be included and he may want to make some personal remarks or be able to tie in things that are important to y'all as a couple, so it'd be nice to have a little getting to know you time! Our officiant did the same thing for us and these were questions more along the line of: what are your core values, individual goals, goals as a couple, what does marriage mean to you, etc.

I’d say I know my uncle pretty well, he’s been a part of my whole life. My FH, he doesn’t know very well, they’ve only spent a few Holidays/celebrations together.
And you’re so right, I didn’t even think about it like that I’ve just been so nervous lol. Again, thank you so much Katie!! You’ve definitely made me feel a little better lol

We for sure had a meeting with our pastor beforehand just to discuss the ceremony script but it could be because he wants to write a script that would be tailored to your story
