In Ontario your ceremony must be solemnized by an authorized officiant (a registered religious official or a licensed civil officiant), and you'll need a marriage licence obtained within 90 days of the date. Meet them first — a great officiant tailors the script, runs the rehearsal, and handles the legal paperwork and witnesses so nothing is missed on the day.
