My ability to preside as your wedding officiant arises from TN Public Chap. No. 255 of the 112 Gen. Assembly. The language allows notary publics to perform civil marriages. I am a commissioned notary public. My Commission Expires 03/01/2028. There are no additional provisions regulating how Notaries perform marriages, aside from rules required of all officiants. I may be a Civil Officiant, but that should not stop any couple from infusing desired spiritual or unity rituals, or a special reading given by a church member, into the ceremony script. As an Unboring Wedding trained officiant, your ceremony centers around you, as a couple, rather than only the rituals. Your ceremony can become the story of your romance.
