Reply #76: I'm real clergy, and I'd do that wedding

[Critters2]

No question. I'd just make sure the couple understood that they wouldn't be recognized as married by the state. Once we're clear on that, I'd tell the organist to start playin'! I'm more concerned with a marriage being recognized by the couple, their friends and family, their religious community, and their Creator. I could give a rat's ass about the state. As long as the aforementioned recognize it as a marriage, it's a marriage. No social security benefits, and the like, but those aren't what makes it a marriage.

This is why I do same sex weddings, and pronounce the couple married, and everything. I work for the church not the state.
