I am pretty traditional and, at first, thought it was a pretty weird idea. However, after attending the ceremony and seeing with my own eyes how special it was to be married by someone you care about, I fully support it. It was beautiful and not odd or awkward at all. When you think about how the church started, the leaders being a few inspired simple folk, and a church defined as whereever there was a group of people gathered in the name of God, it is actually entirely appropriate. And to answer the unasked question, the ceremony was more agnostic in tone, where God was referenced, but there were no formal readings from the Bible or prayers.

He knows us both really well (he was my work study advisor and we both had like 6 classes with him.) and he gets us and our relationship. We definitely wanted someone who knew us both to marry us.
