Here's a link to the site...pretty simple, really, just fill out the form.
FYI, the Universal Life Church is a nationally (if not internationally) recognized church and their online ordination is as legal as any other ordination.
Apparently, some people on this site want people to only be married by someone who has gone to school to study Theology...I personally think that having a loved one do the service is a nice touch.

You dont just become ordained. A recognized legal denominational church must first vote to license you, and then conduct an ordination council to determine if you are qualified . Then you must get your ordination certificate registered in the County where you live. It will have the book and page number on your ordination certificate which you will place on the completed marriage license after the ceremony. That is the procedure for most states. You should call State of N Carolina for their restrictions.

One of our friends is getting ordained online to marry us. He's using the Progressive Universal Life Church (www.pulc.com, I believe). A $20 donation and they'll send him the papers. There are others out there, too.
I encourage you to check with your local authorities to be sure they recognize on-line ordinations. PULC says that as far as they know they're recognized everywhere in the US except NYC. I checked where I live (Cook County, IL) and they recognize it here.

Google it. Or just call your local courthouse, they'll be able to help you. In some states you only need to be a notary. Look for information on becoming an officiant.
You won't be able to become an ordained minister in time for the wedding, that's done by a church.

That is very interesting. I am not sure how you would go about it but good luck with it.
