anybody wanna get married? i can do it. i mean, marry you to someone else, not to myself.
As a minister, you are authorized by the church to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church (except circumcision), including weddings, funerals, baptisms and blessings, subject to the laws of your country, state, or locality. Prior to conducting any civil ceremony (such as marriages), you should know and comply with the laws pertaining to your area of jurisdiction.You are entitled to all privileges and courtesies normally offered to members of the clergy.
Your commitment is to always do the right thing. It is your responsibility to peacefully and sincerely determine the right course of action, and to avoid infringing on the rights of others. You alone are responsible for your actions as a minister.
so i’m officially ordained in the universal life church. bless you my child. *nods reverently*
First, let me thank you profusely for bringing the Bob : )
Secondly, there is a Reverend Todd in my house who went about the same procedure a week or so ago and he too said “Bless you my child” upon successful printing of his certificate. This scares me.
oh kd….i just love the new look. makes me smile, gosh darn it- see, kind of makes me feel like i shouldn’t swear either since it has this bright and happy feel to it!
you know the first time i saw that was like six years ago like i think the internet was new then or something and a bunch of coworkers and myself all cracked up about it. it’s still funny.
my ministry will follow the teachings and tenets of the church of spongebob, since the ULC is ok with any belief-set, and i don’t think the COS is properly accredited yet.
i’m taking this fairly seriously acutally — i can legally marry people. i intend to do so. if anyone will let me.
kd, i’ll keep you in mind for when eli and i get handfasted
..um.. you don’t charge much, do you?
bobby and i could renew our vows, if you really want to practice.
Does that make you an Irish, um, priest?
And why am I still seeing the pink skin? I thought you were going to set it to Spongebob as the default.
Officiating a wedding sounds more fun than it is, really. But then again, you might get some fun couples out your way.
And did you know there are folks charging upwards of $100 to do it? Making money would probably make it more fun too.
there are actually message boards and stuff where you can let folks who are looking for a minister know that you’re available in the area.
i guess i would have to have something to wear, and one of those little books with vows and stuff. but it would make a pretty cool side job!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE SPONGEBOB SKIN IS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I guess I should have read these comments.
…
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am finding that the bob is the right choice for pretty much everyone.
Well, duh…
<g>
I still use Zim at work, but there are connotations there that simply cannot be explained here…
… and the people rejoiced — i kinda prefer Zim most days, or Penguins, since they are more muted and easy on the eyes, especially on those late nights.
Hmmm… Pinky and the Brain?
WOW! I also am a minister with the Universal Life Church. I responded to an ad in the back of a Rolling Stone magazine about 5 years ago, and got a certificate and ID card. Then the good reverend Kirby Hensley kept sending me stuff inviting me to Modesto California to hear lectures on stuff like “how to turn your house into an altar and thusly avoid paying taxes”.
My friend Kris in Denver just asked me to perform his wedding ceremony, but I declined because I didn’t know how legal it would be and also because I’m a friend of his family and his mom can kick my ass! She would waste no time in pounding both Kris and I into the ground if she found out that a fake wedding was performed!
COLORADO:Marriages may be performed by any minister. — Ministers must send a marriage certificate to the county clerk. — For questions see the county clerk.
stacey, that would be perfectly legal.
This is just all too much. I can’t believe this would be legal.
I have now selected spongebob, just FYI. Despite the cautionary notice, it seems to look just fine in IE 5.5.
well, IE 5.5 should be fine, it’s actually much prettier in NS7 or Mozilla, but most everything i do is, since it’s my native browser and i use the NS specific things nowadays.
just a superior browser.
You see that, kd? No circumcisions.
Zimmmmmmmmm!
it.must.be.Zim!
Reverend Kelly, my dear, my dear, you’re on. But you’ll have to give me a few years. If you can do that, you can absolutely marry me off.
What a festive skin- kinda looks like the set for the old “Dating Game.” If S. and I ever go to CA we will totally have you marry us all over again, Rev.
DAMN, and here I REALLY wanted my schlong cut on while I am getting married. Hey wait……….I can’t get married……….don’t you have to have a girl for that? and hey…………wait……….I think there is some sort of stupid age requirement……hmmmmmm maybe I better rethink that circumcism thingy too. Oh well, never mind.
i know, i was *really* disappointed about the no circumcisions thing. you have no idea.
I’ll have to clear it with Keanu, but I’d love to have you officiate at my wedding
Well, I figured when I got married again, I was going to go to vegas and get married by elvis, but I can give you a call when the time arrives. We’ll make it a big blog event like shave hoopty…… or something! LOL
oh my god that’s a great idea! and hey, wherever we have the next blogcon, if we have weddings like the last one … i’ll have to research the wedding laws in that state (probably vegas)
I got ordained too! About a year ago. Then I made everyone call me “Reverend Kitty”. It was so cool. “Reverend Kitty blesses you.” Then I went a little power-crazy… but we won’t go into that.
Have fun being holy!
Welcome to the fold, KD. I was ordained by the ULC about six years ago. Pretty cool.
