Eloped to Jamaica. Asked for non-religious ceremony. Few Jesuses slipped in. Doesn't matter, have wife. Win.

Bought a marriage license for 75 bucks. Our friend Bill got ordained online. My marriage certificate says "Billiam." Fucking awesome.

My husband has performed actual ceremonies twice with the same pleasant chaos energy. I love it.

Fiance never specified which religion.

Hey, good on Keith for finding a church to marry a gay couple.
azimir
I'm ordained (all states!), but 100% atheist. If you're local and legal I'll do the ceremony and paperwork for ya'll for a hamburger.

Let alone eating him and drinking his blood on a weekly basis.

When we married "You don't plan to serve alcohol do you?" "Oh no, no way" (we'll have the waiters do that)

I accidentally ordained myself online

Is that like Googling yourself?

Getting married in a church is so dated and weirdly traditional (for non-Christians)

Some of them are strikingly beautiful, they can make a good venue.

We had a Catholic Church wedding to appease both of our families. Religion feels like a cult to me.
KentuckyFriedForeskin
Here's the cool part, it's your wedding so you don't have to appease a goddamn person aside from you and your fiancé.
UptownWitch
It was years ago. It was very traditional but to honor our grandparents. My thoughts on religion have shifted even more since then.

It's a cult that outlived it's founders and got tax breaks.

I had a judge come and marry me and the wife
NZSheeps
I hope they cleaned it up
FrenziiTheIMP
No, that was my job
ImAFoxButNotReally
Wait aren't all weddings like this in the US? Is a religious wedding valid?
MrKomisiripala
Isn’t that polygamy?

jw2345
possibly, but if it's a male judge then it's polyandry.
SlappinDingers
And if he’s a male then it’s poly entry

If it's a folk song, it's Polly Wolly Doodle andery.

Me too. Our best man didn't show up so the judge got a cop in the building to be our witness.
anangrykarebear
Your... your best man just didn’t show up?? :’( I’m so sorry.
criminently
He got drunk
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
Oh god. I hope he’s no longer your “best man”.
criminently
It really didn't bother me much.

I got married in a church by a pastor. But before we needed a license at the county. The gal at the county said "I can marry you right now".

It depends on your state in the U.S. if someone other than a JP can marry you. Even if you do require a JP, you really just need >

witnesses and a notary to make the certificate stick.

Some places you don't even need witnesses
CurbYourClassWar
So you married her instead?

If you're not even religious why would you want a priest to marry you?
NZSheeps
The bride may be religious
Sporkeldee
Some states require either a justice of the peace (judge) or ordained officiant.
SeeMyVests
Correct, and neither of those requires meeting a priest
Sporkeldee
To become an ordained officiant in Ohio (I am one) you need a letter of good standing with a recognized religious institute.
SeeMyVests
But do the people who you officiate for also have to meet with a priest? Or are you a more secular option than a church officiant?
Sporkeldee
Most priests require you to either be a member or make a donation to their church to preform a service, while on paper I am a reverend I, 1/
