What to Know Before Offciating a Wedding

Solomon Morris Davis is a minister at the Universal Life Church ministries. He graduated from the Los Angeles Community College with a specialization in business and serves as chief executive officer of Somoda Management, Inc. Solomon Morris Davis performs wedding ceremonies and trains people to become marriage officiants.

To perform a wedding ceremony, you must be ordained. Marriage laws and documents needed to become a licensed marriage officiant differ slightly from a state to another. Ceremonies are only legal if two requirements take place, the declaration of intent and the pronouncement.

After the ceremony, the marriage officiant and the couple sign the marriage license. The license goes to local officials before the deadline; some states have strict deadlines, so be mindful. After completing the wedding ceremony, you can give the couple a decorative marriage certificate and enjoy the rest of the party.
