So the church that my FH and I are getting married in, I think is charging us way too much and want some opinions. We attend a non denominational church that has 2 other campuses. We are not a huge...

How to get ordained online

I’m having a very hard time finding someone we know to marry us and I don’t want to hire a stranger to marry us. What do we need to do to have a family member marry you?
