Do you tip the Deacon

Are you supposed to tip the Decon that marries you? I know you give the church a 'donation' but do you have to tip the Deacon as well?

I dont think so. I think the 'donation' covers it all.

Re: Do you tip the Deacon

if you get married at the church, no because the donation covers it.. but if you get married at the RH .. then its up to you

Re: Do you tip the Deacon

we didnt because my doc agreed that its tacky to tip a man of the cloth. We paid the church donation and tipped the alter boys and organist. Because our priest did such a wonderful cermeony for us...we sent a thank you gift basket that arrived the monday after our wedding...some wines and cheese....just to tell him how we appreciated his service.
