We paid our pastor (who had done our pre-marital counseling as well, which was free because we are both members of his church) after our ceremony. We gave the money and the responsibility to a groomsman with instructions to give it to the pastor after the wedding when it seemed like a calm moment. A friend of mine told me that she paid hers at the rehersal dinner because she did not want him to think they weren't going to pay (as it was an optional honorarium, and not required.) I paid $100, and she paid $250. We're not exactly sure what the appropriate etiquette is. Although my logic was that it was a gift, and was given in thanks for the job he did after all was said and done.
