A:In most Western countries, at least, yes. In secular countries such as the United States, a pagan priest has the same rights to perform weddings as would a Christian or Hindu priest, subject to be a registered celebrant.

How do you get in touch with a priest or priestess for a pagan wedding?

To get in touch with a priest* for a pagan wedding, check out your local business or telephone directory under 'pagan' or 'pagan wedding(s)', search for 'pagan wedding(s) + your area', or ask a wedding planner in your area. Even your local florist or herbalist probably has the information.*'Priest' isn't gender-specific; 'priestess' sounds nice and is fine to use, but you don't have to if you prefer not, just as pagan officials don't have to wear flowing robes if they prefer not to.


When is pagan marriage proposal right or wrong?

When either or both of the people getting married are practitioners of a Pagan Pathway it is appropriate for the proposal to be of a pagan nature. The marriage or "hand-fasting" may then be preformed by a pagan High Priestess &/or High Priest (if it is to be legally binding be sure that one of those people performing the ritual is recognised by the local authority). The Ritual may also be performed by a High Priestess/Priest and a recognised legal person (Justice of the Peace, Judge, Minister etc), or you may have two rituals, one Pagan, one secular). If either or both of the people being engaged are pagan but not yet "out if the broom closet" the proposal may be pagan but the marriage may not necessarily be. See the above options and add just a non-pagan service with friends and family of all paths attending. If one of the people being married is non-pagan and they or their family are opposed to a pagan Ritual then not only is it inappropriate, it is inadvisable.
