about

One day he is asked to officiate his sister and law's wedding, then a month later he volunteers to marry his brother in another state and flies out to do the honors - then less than a year later he finds himself officiating his daughter's beautiful white wedding and realizes what he has wanted and loved all along about weddings - not to be the groom or husband but to be a part of weddings as an officiant...

Hey now.. I'm gonna shut down the shitty bass

I received the private message (Asking if I'd marry them)
Asking if I'd marry them (Civil marriages)
Deputy Commissioner
of Civil marriages (Deputy Commissioner of Civil marriages)
For just one day in November

After all I've seen and been through
after all my dreams dashed come true
I found my place where I can live my dream again
down the aisle, again
Not to marry a bride who is heaven sent
But as The Officiant

The Officiant
as The Officiant
The Officiant
as The Officiant

I married my sister
I married my brother
I married my daughter
and that was great

walk down the aisle
alone in single file
cuz I'll love myself
and that was great

walk down the aisle
alone in single file
I do I will start
until death do I part

(I do I will start until death do I part
Not to marry a bride who is heaven sent
But as The Officiant )
