Has anyone had their friend or relative (someone who is not a minister everyday) perform your ceremony?And if so, how did you work out the ceremony? Did you research from a specific book? MY FFIL will be performing the ceremony ( he was ordained online thru First Nation Ministry) and he told us that we have to figure out what we want to do for the ceremony so I need to write out what everyone will be saying, etc. I need help!!!
