Actually, I think anyone can perform the ceremony. The issue is
that it be a legal marriage at some point. For example, lots of
people renew their vows after some period of years. Anyone can
perform that kind of ceremony.

They said it was legal but I guess I'll check into it before I perform any
marriages.
Actually got the idea from my instructor at the Maritime Institute when I
was studying for my ticket. Somebody asked if a captain could perform
marriages at sea and he said "sure, as long as you get yourself ordained
with the Universal Life Church"
By the way, note to self: don't post on newsgroups after a night of
celebration involving multiple Spanish Coffees!

Are you registered with the state? I believe you have to be to make
it legal.

After spending $200 for a guy who does concrete work as a real job to
marry
me, I've decided this is a great side gig! All you have to do is go
to
the
Universal Life Church website and you too can be an instant Reverend!
I am now able to perform Marriages, Baptisms and Funerals, as well as
all
kinds of other swell stuff.
So from now on, call me Captain Reverend!
Cap'n Rev Mike
