I was ordained by the Universal Life Church about 5 years ago to officiate at a close friend's wedding. They're, like, legal and
everything. Well, as far as I know....
I didn't have all that much to add to that other than to say it was interesting that you brought this up. It seems the vast majority of folks around here (where I live, not the TFP) prefer to have a religous figure preside over the ceremony even if the bride and groom aren't particularly religious, which I assume isn't the case in other parts of the world.
Personally, when I get married (If I get married
), I don't believe it will be in a church. I mean, if she wanted ceremony, I'd be happy to oblige, but, for me, the smaller the better. In fact, a simple civil service with the Justice of the Peace is just fine by me. What can I say, I'm a romantic.
As far as spirituality goes...Well, I require neither affirmation nor validation of my spiritual union from some third party huckster.
