Is the best man in a Catholic wedding supposed to pay the priest?

It is not customary nowadays to pay the priest. This is due to churches actually charging up to $1000.00 for the ceremony to take place. As Priests do not officially have bank accounts, and as Catholics have no desire for consumeable things then there is no need to "pay" the priest. Instead a gift can be made to a priest, such as a nice artwork, plant or anything of aesthetic or religious value. Regards Fr. Duncan

What should a priest be paid for a wedding ceremony?
A priest does not receive payment for administering a service or sacrament; salvation is not only for the rich. It is recommended, however, that a donation called a "stipend" be given if it is within the means of the those who have requested the service or sacrament. While a priest is given an allowance to meet his needs, stipends allow the priest to have a supplement to their set income. You can usually call the local priory and ask the secretary what the recommended stipend is for a specific service or sacrament in your region. If you cannot afford a stipend, this should not affect the priest's willingness to provide the service or sacrament requested.
