I am a photographer, have helped plan and coordinate several weddings and seem to have a knack for it. My Aunt (a decorator and event planner) has approached me about opening a wedding chapel in our "touristy" small town and I am considering it. I am not affiliated with any religion myself, but thought about getting ordained online to perform wedding ceremonies. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to invest in something that would not hold up legally...Thanks!

My mother's boss's husband (that's a mouthful) who's also an old family friend just got ordained online so that he could perform his son's wedding ceremony. It's completely legit as long as you check out the site. Apparently there are some scammy type ways to be ordained online but there are some legitimate ones. I'm actually thinking about him doing my own wedding since we don't attend a specific church and have no minister of our own.

Awe, only if you were younger, I could have flew to Aus & got married! lol One day... One day... Anyways, If you 2 have seen each other before (like a webcam) & have been talking for awhile, & you say she seems like a nice person... Then I say do it! Have fun! It's not like you are 15 & trying to hook up with some 60 year old lady for "fun & games". I do agree with another person about having a plan A-B-C. Incase you 2 don't get along in person or whatever happens. I'm not sure about the "need a paper mail" thing. Talk to someone at a Travel agency or an embassy to ask if your lady friend (who I'm guessing is flying alone) needs anything from you personally. Different countries want different things. I look at it this way too. She may ask for a mail letter because se wants to make sure YOU are not scamming her! ???

I got ordained a few years back from the Universal Life Church of Modesto, California. My favorite title was "Universal Philosopher of Absolute Reality". Had a nifty certificate and everything.

May the force be with you.

Some states recognize this, others do not. Some states make you register & some require bonding to the tune of $1500.
And some states require you to be licensed as well.
Get in touch with your Secretary of State for the right info.

Check your states law, they are all different.

as long as your state recognizes your credentials, it is legitimate.
