Default getting married

My fiance and I would love to get married on a boat. What can you tell
me about getting married by a captain of a boat?


Since this is a newsgroup I'll feel free to offer a completely uninformed
and wild guess. I think it has to be a ship in international waters on a
legitimate voyage unless the captain is otherwise empowered to perform the
ceremony. There was a reason for this back when voyages could take months
and months.

You might find it cheaper to rent the booze cruiser of your choice and bring
along a minister or justice of the peace.
