Maybe we all just had better things to do on a saturday night.

I don't get how marriage is tied up in the church. Anyone can go to a courthouse and get married. I'm a $20 reverend in the Universal Life Church and I have performed six weddings in Ohio, Washington, California, and Utah.

So, I fail to understand the original point. Marriage on a federal and state level is *not* a religious institution, it's simply something that entitles you to certain governmental rights.
