In one of my last acts as a 33 year old, I got ordained for Laura and Jon's wedding this spring. If I couldn't tackle turning water into wine, I figured that I could help my friends out and get the credentials to actually marry them under the law before I leave my Jesus year.
I did some soul searching before I went ahead with the process. In their email to me and Suzanne (Jon's closest friend), they said according to New Jersey law, that they "will need at least one of you to become ordained online (it's free). Please let us know if you don't feel comfortable with this... we totally understand if you don't want to do this."
So I really thought about it. I was excited when Laura asked if I would do this. I immediately said yes and that I would be the Joey at their wedding. However in looking at the websites for ordaination (and ending up at http://www.universalministries.com/), I took it seriously what I was doing. I don't plan on doing anything more with the ordaination but officiate at Laura and Jon's wedding. Yet, I have made a commitment to my God and my God alone to do my best for Him on earth.
I'm thrilled now to be able to officiate Laura and Jon's wedding.
