Spidra, I meant to mention, FWIW, we had a cantor at my stepfather's and my mother's funerals. I'd say it's worth looking into.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The passport has to be valid for 6 months.
Has to be, or has to have been? I'm wondering suddenly, because I know I've run across where you can't get a visa if the passport will expire in under six months, but I'm not sure I've seen that it can't be recently issued.
Which it very well could be, I'm sure you're on top of it. But it could be worth double checking.
Jon asked today, but I will totally get him to double check! Good idea, thanks!
Now I'm looking at it, and it looks like y'all are right! Have texted hubs to let him know?
Birthday in Goa after all!
Yes! What Brenda said is what I was confused by! I was like "if his passport is expiring in six months, why can't he expedite a new one NOW, and still have time to get a visa, it's only August!"
YAY, glad to hear things will work out!
And in more tales of passportage, I am going to give mine its first workout by flying first class to VIENNA for Christmas! Well, I probably won't stay in Vienna (my brother lives in Brno, and I don't know where we might go to--Prague? elsewhere?). But still! Whee!
Thanks, Zenkitty. I appreciate people's answers so I can get a reality check on this thing.
When I married Stephen we had musicians and a singer, but they were arranged individually. He made all the arrangements. There was piano and organ music provided by people he knew from the church and the singer he knew from the opera. I pretty much just showed up.
Also, just because you don't play an instrument doesn't mean you can't do weddings. Plenty of people hire, for example, an organist and a singer.
Things that are annoying. Wedding RSVP cards that do not have a stamp.

And I know a cantor who plays a mean guitar and also sings, but is happy to help out other musicians and share gigs -- plus, when he has a female voice to bounce off of, the range and complexity of what he can offer musically are a lot wider.
