Ok. Long story short, I signed up as a minister on an online church website so I could joke that I could officiate marriages a few years ago. Even considered doing it when dc allowed gay marriage and they needed people to officiate all the marriages that were gonna happen.
Anyway.
My buddy and his fiancé are getting married in May and have asked me to officiate cuz I said I'd do it for 20 bucks and some food lol.
But now I'm getting nervous about what to say. I don't want to back out on them cuz they don't have a lot of money to hire an experienced person.
So I was planning on talking about beauty/ugliness and the struggles of making a relationship work and how hard it will be and through that sort of struggle you can find beauty... Then was going to end by saying how there are no two people more beautiful than them, and no two people more ready to take on the challenge.
Now I do have married friends but they all got married in a pretty traditional fashion--church or Buddhist or whatever.
Do you think I should play it simple or do u think the subject of my speech or whatever is too cynical or sentimental or something else?

It's not what they want to hear on their wedding day. Keep it short and sweet and positive.
