Using a friend as Officiant

Hi all,

We’ve finally agreed that we would like our friend to officiate our wedding, but I’m not sure if the best way to go about it. I know that there are online religious orgs that will certify someone, but this is going to be a non-denominational wedding.

I’d also heard that some cities can temporarily allow civilians to act as something like a deputy clerk, but idk if we can do that. We’re getting married in Baltimore.

If anyone has advice or personal anecdotes, please share!
