Re “Questions to Ask Before Booking a Wedding Site” (Sunday Styles, Jan. 13):
Daniel Bortz presents some practical and wise questions to consider before booking a wedding venue. Here’s a little unsolicited advice from a friendly rabbi. If you have your heart set on having your childhood rabbi, priest, family friend or judge officiate on your special day, ask that person whether or not that date works for his or her schedule first.
Seems like common sense, but you’d be shocked to know how frequently starry-eyed couples are deflated after they realize that their clergy person will not be able to officiate at their wedding. Oh, and mazel tov!
