In a ceremony conducted by Gary Holt of Slayer, on Saturday, September 6, in their home state of Texas, frontman Tom Araya and his wife Sandra renewed their vows. As reported from blabbermouth.net, Holt posted a picture of himself in a black long-sleeved clergy shirt on Sunday, September 7. A legally authorized person who conducts a ceremony where a couple renews their wedding vows to one another, usually on an anniversary or following a life-altering event, is known as an officiant for a vow renewal. According to reports, Texas does not require wedding officiants to register with the government, in contrast to certain other states. This implies that you are legally permitted to perform wedding ceremonies in Texas after receiving your ordination from an accredited institution.
