The contentiousness is disconcerting at times, but there also is a good deal of understanding, acceptance and support. Sort of like a U/U church at times.

Some humanist groups have developed programs for training people to perform certain functions that have previously been the purview of religious people for the most part. Celebrants is the term I have seen most often.

The wedding should be interesting, if you have not been to one before, and I look forward to your report.
