multilingual ceremonies

Hi- does anyone have any tips on finding a Bilingual officiant in NYC? the other language is Swiss German, but we could probably live with High German... Thanks!

Re: multilingual ceremonies

If you can't find one I have a suggestion. My GF just got married and his side only speaks Spanish. Here is what they did...the preist said everything in english, two readings were done in spanish by his sisters, two were done in english. They said their vows in spanish. I had never seen it done before and I thought it was s beautiful.

Re: multilingual ceremonies

Thanks for the reply- we will definitely try to incorporate something Swiss German into the ceremony... Will have to see if my FH (I see everyone using that- I guess it means 'future husband'? feels weird!) has anything special in mind..
