Timing is everything

Today was interesting. 
This afternoon I got a call for a last minute wedding for this evening, while I was on the phone arranging that wedding, I got a call from a bride who is getting married next year in February.  This is a good example of the variety of wedding planning that I get. 
Today's wedding was for a couple that had planned on getting married at the courthouse this afternoon, but the groom just got a new job and couldn't get the time off work.  The date was important to them so we performed the ceremony at her grandparent's home with the bride's family in attendance. 
The next call was for a bride planning her wedding for next February as I said.  She has the location, the caterer, and the other vendors in place.  This bride is very organized and likes to make sure that everything is in place well in advance.
That is the way that a lot of the weddings that I officiate go. Some are months in advance others are days or weeks in advance.  That is what makes this job interesting.  You never know what the day will bring or the wonderful people that you are going to meet.  You get to be a part of one of the most special days in people's lives.
Flexibility is a big part of officiating weddings. :-)
