Kijiji Wedding Officiant Basically Ruins Ontario Wedding

And Here's Why You Never Get A Wedding Officiant Off Kijiji

Peterborough's Jessica and Casey O’Donnell had an August wedding they will never forget.

They had a wedding officiant from hell (hired on Kijiji) named George T. Casselman who continually botched and bloopered his way through the ceremony — losing his notes, repeating himself, saying incoherent sentences, forgetting where the rings where, calling the groom by the bride's name and much much much more.

As the Toronto Star reports, it turns out the trainwreck officiant wasn't even registered with the province so the couple now have to re-certify their marriage in family court and apply for an “order of validity”.

Their story is now getting international attention after the Daily Mail in the U.K. picked it up. Watch the wedding video above called "The Irreverent Reverend George" (you won't believe how bad it gets).

UPDATE: After reading the story, a pastor in Oakville named Geoff Vandermolen has reached out to PTBOcanada.com's editor on Twitter, offering a FREE re-wedding for Jessica and Casey O'Donnell. Jessica and Casey, please contact PTBOcanada.com here if you're interested!
