Hey Everyone!
Just wondering if anyone has ever had a family member marry them? Pros cons? Any thoughts would be great!

As long as they are recognized as a legal officiant by the province in which you are getting married it shouldn't be a problem. We had our friend officiate our wedding and had a legal officiant witness the ceremony and make the pronouncement and sign the papers with us. That was enough for it to be considered legal.

It would all depend on the legality of them marrying you. If they aren't a registered/recognized officiant in the jurisdiction you're getting married in, then it wouldn't be a legally recognized wedding (i.e. you wouldn't be married).
I know of people who got officially (i.e. legally) married prior to the wedding and then had a family member perform the marriage ceremony.
