The WA laws are pretty lax.  So we are 'good to go' if you will.

I still think the whole experience is one that I will cherish for a long, long time.


...And I found out that "everyone" thought I did a real good job. Woo Hoo!

I was ordained by the ULC right after they started up back in the early 70's. I wonder if I am still in good standing?

Did you see their ad in the back of Rolling Stone, or some other means?

You should be.  Do you still have your original ordination certificate?  It shouldn't matter, but if they don't have records from back that far in the current computerized database (and you care), you should be able to tell them your info.

I am pretty sure I got the address of the ULC out Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book. Thats a counter culture guide and handbook with some good terrorism tips included.

Cool.  A terrorism mention in my thread.  Awesome!

But, alas, I only use my counter culture powers for good....

My Dad is a ULC ordained reverend. He married my wife and I, two of my brothers and their wives and two of my best friends.

He regularly performs ceremonies for people around Wisconsin and I think once in Michigan. Mostly the wedding "jobs" he gets are referrals from people who he has performed ceremonies for. He would like to do it for free, but with the price of fuel he has had to ask for specific mileage. He also asks for a donation, but I know of plenty of people he's married gratis (aside from his kids.)

He likes to perform non-traditional ceremonies. I know he performed a Viking ceremony that a couple requested. He did a bit of research on that one. I would have loved to go to that one! What tux goes with a horned helmet?

After a particularly disastrous first marriage, and a pastor that I'd happily engage in fisticuffs with, my sister remarried again earlier this year to a, while crazy Fox News fanatic, still a better, hard-working guy. I didn't have any objections.

I'd think not - you don't owe alimony any more.

Now you can start squandering your money and accepting gift cars from friends.

That has two answers. Firstly how could you be in good standing Pariah? Considering it's you we are talking about.

Though if you can stand without falling down, I guess you qualify as in good standing.

This could help

It was enacted for the Quakers but they have to make it available for anyone regardless of their religion. There was a dust-up recently where an overzealous County employee tried to forbid self-marriage licenses to non-Quakers.

Well, that would make sense. If you allow one religion to marry that way, then you must allow others. It would be like saying we recognize marriages performed by Cathokics, Jews, Methodists, etc. But not Baptists.

I would question your wording that the law was passed for the Quakers, as it was the Quakers that founded Pennsylvania and may have passed their own laws. Of course I could be wrong as I haven't delved to deeply into it.
