[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 289674, member: 1991"] Through ulc you become a legally ordained minister of what? In Australia regardless of whether you're a recognised minister of religion or not, in order to perform marriage ceremonies you MUST be a recognised marriage celebrant. There are hoops you have to jump through, papers you have to fill in, standards you must demonstrate you can achieve and rules you must follow. My oldest friend has become a marriage celebrant, I've even been thinking of giving it a go. We're getting my friend to be the celebrant for easy child 2/difficult child 2's wedding and we've already had the first meeting. Because she's my friend (and I knew where she lives!) I went along too and we got talking about just what is involved. The regulations are very strict, she has certain things she MUST do and say to every couple. I don't know how strict it is in the US but I suspect the process is more involved than that website indicates. Or if it isn't, then it perhaps should be, to prevent a too-frivolous attitude to something as binding as marriage. Marg [/QUOTE]
