At a wedding in the State of Nevada, and official person must perform the ceremony, such as an ordained minister. Ordained ministers are often considered permanent clergy.
Distinctions on what makes a person an ‘ordained minister’ can vary from one religious organization or denomination to the next, but it is essentially a status established by a church.
For example, since non-denominational churches have no formal church hierarchy to approve their clergy, one must meet specific criteria that their local church board members require in order to become an ordained minister. After going through the church’s requirements and completing all the steps in the process for ordination, you can become an ordained minister at a non-denominational church.
Becoming an ordained minister allows you to become authorized to perform church rites and sacraments, such as baptisms, legal marriages, and celebrations of life.

“I _____, love and support you ____,
for being who you are. I want you to walk through life with me because I love you, honour you, trust you, and will cherish you all the days of my life. I promise this vow through all times.”
These vows are a symbol of love and commitment to one another. Next, the minister will have a couple do a ring exchange.
