 J is for Justice of the Peace

Not every state has the position of "Justice of the Peace".  A Justice of the Peace" has a different job description in each state that has that government position.  The State of Florida does NOT have the position of "Justice of the Peace."  So, if someone tells you that they got married by a "Justice of the Peace" in Florida, that is not true, that did not happen.

  I is for Informal

There are several categories of weddings:  Ultraformal, Formal, Semi-formal and INFORMAL.  A Halloween theme wedding would be considered "informal".  A beach wedding where the couple is wearing a simple tropical print shirt, shorts and a sundress would be considered "informal".  And a western themed wedding would be considered "informal".

 I is for Interfaith Wedding Ceremony

As a wedding ceremony officiant, I have performed several Interfaith Wedding Ceremonies.  And those ceremonies either spotlighted an item from both faiths or the ceremony was considered "neutral" spot lighting neither faith.

For example:  One of the Interfaith Wedding Ceremonies that conducted featured both the Bride's Father who recited the Jewish "Seven Blessings" to the wedding guests and the Groom's Father who led the wedding guests in "The Lord's Prayer".

 H is for Honeymoon

Yes, you should go on some type of trip or honeymoon after your wedding.  I know of couples who made their wedding ceremony part of their destination wedding, and I know of couples who left on their honeymoon within in a day or two of their wedding ceremony.  And I know of a couple who put off their honeymoon until the Groom received his Master's Degree nine months after their wedding ceremony.

G is for Gift Table

Several years ago, I officiated a ceremony for a couple who were very mercenary, in my opinion.  This couple were hoping for a big cash flow plus expensive gifts.  I don't where the Bride got a box the size of a dishwasher but she did, and she made a sign that said "Put your gifts here!".  I don't what the couple got in cash gifts but they were truly disappointed that no one put any BIG gifts in that BIG cardboard box sitting next to the gift table.

 F is for Formalwear

There is a "dress code" for a couple who wish to be joined in matrimony.  There are four levels of  formality:  there is ultraformal, formal, semi-formal and informal or casual.  And even, though I have seen couples "mistmatched" many times, I still feel it is worth mentioning. 

Just recently I witnessed this . . .  the Bride was wearing a white lace gown with a veil and long train and the Groom was wearing an advertising T-shirt, cut off jeans and work boots in a backyard setting on a summer afternoon.  And even though she wore what she wanted to and he wore what he wanted to, the couple looked very "mismatched".
