[Triple Zero]

So, um, I kind of wonder if there are more ULC people "for real" (whatever that means), or it's mostly discordians, subgenii and ilk that want an (extra) really real religious title for realness

Anyway, I think I'll be getting one soon as well. I don't really care for legally marrying people or anything, but having a religious title sounds like fun.

Except I'm not entirely sure about these records they're keeping, even though they promise to not sell em or use for any bad purposes, and let's say I fully believe them, neither did the Dutch government sell or use the records of all people Jewish for anything bad ... until the Nazis decided to pay us a visit. Paranoid, me?

It definitely can't hurt to have a religious obligation to "do what's right", though.

And the marriage thing, well it might be kinda cool if I was going to propose to my girl at some very romantic perfect time, and then put the deed to the word and immediately perform a marriage on us too [of course later on there will be a party for friends and family, but I don't see why this marriage thing shouldn't be a private matter].

As far as I can tell the ULC serves a lot of fringe groups: Wiccans, Satanists, Discordians, Subgenii, etc. as well as people who are not exactly "religious" but have some sort of spiritual practice, and then also the jokers who just want a minister credential.

As for marrying you and your gf... unless the law is drastically different in the Netherlands, they make you use a third-party officiant, and two witnesses.

Arizona doesn't require a third party officiant just witness signatures and some court paperwork

awwww

i saw a modified Quaker wedding and the couple stood up and gave vows in front of guests, and said "we now declare ourselves husband and wife" a few Sig's and some paper work and it was legal.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yeah, I think the witnesses are key everywhere.

I didn't know Arizona doesn't require an officiant, although I did know that in Alaska marriage only requires one witness/officiant, and any citizen can do it.

[fomenter]

i dont recall how many witnesses it took, these things vary from state to state in Utah i needed two "i think" and a court judge to officiate. i don't know if the judge was necessary, it didn't occur to me to ask

I just found out what's the deal with marriage in the Netherlands. Any religious involvement is simply optional. All you have to do is go to the municipality center and fill out the form. You also need a witness, but if you didn't bring your own, any clerk over there will witness for you if you ask nicely. You may have to make an appointment first, I'm not sure.

If you wanna get married in the church (any church, apparently) that's nice, but you still need to sign the form at the municipality center to make it official for the state.

So I may or may not ordain myself as a ULC Priest, but it won't really grant me any additional marriage powerz, to speak of.

[Payne]

Fuck the clerkz!

I will be your witness, as long as I get to "witness" EVERYTHING.

And that is maybe, partly, possibly, my slightly perverted reason why I thought it might be cool to do a marriage in private, and have eachother scream "I DOOOOOOO" during climax and go*pant* .. *pant* .. good .. *pant* .. I now declare us man and wife. *collapses*

Oh, that's pretty cool!

For all intents and purposes, being ordained in Oregon no longer gives a person additional wedding officiant powerz, either, because while the law states that the officiant (who is required to sign the legal marriage document) be either a judge or an ordained minister with credentials registered with the county clerk, about two years ago, due to budget cuts, the county clerk position was eliminated.

I'm really only happy like that around my friends.  Of which I have 2.  Of which 100% just moved to North Carolina.
