HELP!!! Minister backed out…
One of my FH’s best friends from childhood is currently in seminary school to become a minister. He graduates in May, right before we get married and we had asked him last year when we got engaged to perform the ceremony for us. If he had said no, we would have asked him to be a GM and done some things differently, but he said yes.
My FH talked to his friend last night, and for reasons I will not even bother mentioning, he has suggested we look for someone else to perform the ceremony. So now, with only 4 months left to go, we are without a priest or minister.
FH is Methodist and I am Catholic. We would like to have a Christian, non-denominational ceremony (not a mass) at our reception hall, which is in Hauppauge. If anyone can recommend either a priest or minister, it would be greatly appreciated. FH and I are not parishioners of any church and have no idea where to even start looking for someone to perform the ceremony for us.
On a different note, because this friend was performing the ceremony, we had already decided on our BP without him in it. As it is, we already have 1 more GM than BM. I know FH wants to add him, but then we’ll have 2 more GM than BM. My 2 brothers are GM and my FH didn’t want them, so now I feel bad. If my brothers were to back out of the BP and his friend joined it would be an even BP. I know FH would never ask them to back out now that they are in, but I know they would understand. I don’t know what to do.
