This conversation started in the 'Your Major' Topic. I'll address it here since it has nothing to do with majors.

Petskull, first get ordained by the Universal Life Church. I don't have the URL for you since I'm at work, but it should be easy to find. They will ordain you online for free.

Second, find out the requirements for performing marriages in your State or Country. Some States, such as Virginia, require you to prove that you have a congregation while others just require you to pay a fee and register. I don't know the requirements if you live outside of the United States.

I just went to the county courthouse, let them make a copy of my certificate, paid my five bucks, and was immediately able to perform marriages in my State.

Two days from now you can be marrying people at $75-a-pop.

Emperor, I'm sorry to hear of your luck with marrying people. As far as I now, the three couples I've married are still together.

I got "ordained" at the ULC site a year or two ago. Never got around to seeing whether I could register to perform marriages here in North Carolina without any problems, though. My ordination is my own dirtly little secret since my wife would absolutely kill me if she found out. She takes her religion seriously and wouldn't appreciate my little joke.

One of my best friends in Minnesota got married last year. His wifes brother went and got ordained at ulc.org, and 3 weeks later he had the licence from Minnesota to perform marriages and presided over the ceremony! It sounds like it should be a scam, doesn't it? But it's not! Perfectly legal, they've been around for ages, and have taken this through the courts many times, up to the highest levels.

Your pal, -doc-

Thanks for the help.
I guess I shopuld watch that i do not get off topic so much. but I am distracted easily it seems.

This looks interesting but my mom says I can't get ordained till I'm older.

Not to undermine your mother's authority, tj333, but I don't see how she can stop you.

tj333: I got ordained in the ULC 6 years ago after seeing a brief 'and finally...' on the news about a woman who ordained her cat so I don't think age is really going to be a problem - just don't tell her.
