The percentage of couples asking either a friend or a family member to officiate their wedding is rising.
According to The Knot Senior Editor Esther Lee, 51% of couples enlisted family and friends to serve as officiants in 2020 — up from 37% in 2015. Lee expected that COVID spike in online ordinations to continue into our — hopefully pandemic-free — future.
"As you look at the diminishing returns on church attendance," Universal Life Church Presiding Chaplain George Friedman said, "you will find more people are stepping into performing and taking their religion and spirituality into their own hands."
