Wedding Officiant or Wedding Minister?
There is a difference between a wedding minister and a wedding officiant. According to Wikipedia, “Religious weddings are officiated by clergy people.” In church traditions the term is usually used for people who have been ordained. One of the religious rites the minister performs is the Holy Act of Matrimony. According to the United Methodist Book of Worship weddings are to be "Pastor to People."
Wedding Officiant
However, a Civil Wedding Officiant can be either clergy or non-clergy. According to the Cambridge Dictionary this is “a legal, non-religious marriage ceremony that does not take place in a church or other religious building.” These are independent and generally non-religious marriage celebrants certified by the government. They are required to undergo a course of training for at least 26 weeks. They are encouraged to provide ceremonies of meaning and substance. Their main legal responsibility is to witness the consent of the intended spouses for the wedding license and hence validate the marriage or civil union for legal purposes. Their main social and cultural responsibility is to create ceremonies which engender respect for the institution of marriage." This is somewhat an offering of church vs. state in the business of matrimony.
