Episode 31. In this week’s wedding podcast episode, I sit down with my fiancé to share what it’s really like to officiate your best friend’s wedding while also standing by their side as a groomsman. From the emotional moment he was asked to officiate, to navigating the certification process, planning the ceremony script, and juggling double duty on the big day, we cover it all. He opens up about the nerves, the funniest behind-the-scenes moments, and what it felt like to stand up there leading one of the most important parts of the wedding. If you’ve ever wondered how to officiate a wedding, what goes into writing a ceremony, or what happens when the officiant is also part of the wedding party, this episode is packed with stories, tips, and heartfelt reflections you won’t want to miss.
