Wedding Officiant

Ok, so I officiated my first wedding ceremony on Friday night. It was for very good friends of mine. It turned out so beautifully. I am extrememly pleased with how nice the ceremony was.
My prayers are with the bride and groom for a very long and wonderful marriage.

And... during the reception, one of the couples who was there asked me to marry them in September. Really looking forward to that too...

Notaries can't perform weddings in NJ.
I didn't perform the ceremony in the capacity of a Notary Public.

Notaries in Illinois are not authorized to perform weddings.
Some notaries are ordained ministers and perform weddings as ordained ministers.
Some notaries are also JP's and perform weddings as JP's (Justice of the Peace)

Do a search on inspections for info on inspections.
