I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!

How are you guys ordained?? My Dad's a Pastor and he had to go through 8 years of seminary and whatnot....is this some internet thing that tells you you're ordained or something?

Yeah the internet is an easy way to do it. The laws to become ordained are pretty easy, the seperation of church and state prevent a lot of rules and regulations. The guys dressed up as Elvis in Vegas who marry people probably didn't spend the best years of their life in seminary either.

A church's requirements to be a pastor are probably more restrictive than the state's for being considered an "ordained minister".
I did it on the internet. You give them 40 bucks, and they send you a certificate. All you have to do in Ohio is register with the secretary of state for another 10 bucks, and you're good to go. If someone got a license in Manchester the day before Roo, the wedding would be legally binding. I totally wish I could set up a chapel on Shakedown. That would be an awesome EZ up.

Who cares about the marraige being legally ordained? Isn't this about the joining of two conciousness and love and flippity flap? Why should the government have anything to say about the union of two people? I know there are perks to being married, but there shouldn't be. The government should have no role in my business. To quote Doug Stanhope "If marraige wasn't invented, would you invent it? Would you say "Baby, this shirt we've got between us is so good we need to get the government in on this to give us tax breaks."
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

Divorce attorneys .
Oh, and my point was that if you wanted the marriage to be legally recognized, you'd have to take an additional step. If you're just feeling groovy and want to get hitched in holy 'rooage, more power to ya.

Well, I can't say I'm real sure how it works, but could you not get your marriage license in the state you reside in, take it with you to Bonnaroo, and have your "minister", witnesses, or whatever sign the license? Isn't that how people have their weddings in the Bahamas and such?
I remember some folks wanted to get married in '04 but decided against it when the Roo folks wouldn't let their friends and relatives come for free ('just for the ceremony, not for the bands' or something similarly short-sighted). It was a brief flare-up on the Krewe boards.
They couldn't stop you if you wanted to do it but they also probably wouldn't provide a venue either. Maybe the Solar Stage . . .
Derek and I are doing it the "legally binding" way. I know, the government blows... Spiritually, we are already married...he's the one. But we need to do it legally, so we are getting our license in Manchester the day before. We won't need a divorce attorney, spookymonster...ever. tee hee...

Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
