The Answer....

....to your question and one dilemma!

My friend Kathy and her fiance have both been married before. Between them, they have done the big church wedding, the Justice of the Peace, and Vegas. They didn't want to do that again. Something unique, but not in a church, or the courthouse. And "wouldn't it be nice if someone we knew could marry us?" Well, back when the hubs and I were planning our wedding, we had the same dilemma, and I did a little research. Turns out, getting ordained online is actually very easy (after all, Tori Spelling did it so she could marry a couple on her show), and, as it turns out, LEGAL (as long as you obey the laws of your own state and county, as well). So, I found an online ministry that fit our needs, and my sensibilities, and took the plunge.

If all goes according to plan, I will be officiating at my friend's wedding this spring. So now my question is....what does a non-traditional female minister WEAR to said wedding, without looking like a minister....or a bridesmaid.....

OK. Too cool! There's a book -- or at least a sit-com -- in here somewhere.:-)

Where something attractive, but not too ornate. Black. And make a cross part of your jewelry.

Oh, I have no doubt....my life is full of odd little twists!

Nooooo can't do that! She's a Wiccan! LOL

Ummm. Yeah. I've got no response for that one. :-) I guess you could ask HER as they may have been to one before.

I think something flowy and comfy is in order - but it sounds like you could probably get away with anything you want! Of course, this calls for some new awesome jewels too!

I'm thinking black satin pantsuit, small but sparkly earrings (something dangly, but short), no necklace. Killer shoes.

I just turned a non-church going lawyer into a Catholic Priest for a play, do you want me to do your costuming? One daughter got married in a little tiny Catholic Church on the beach in Hawaii, officiated by A WOMAN! She was wonderful!
