I became ordained because the usual ceremonies people would like to have (in my lifestyle)* are generally frowned upon by 'regular' religions, yet many want to be married, and be married their OWN way, not how someone else tells them they should. My question is this: In a few quick searches about what was required in my state, most were simple 1 sentence answers, the most comprehensive answer being http://usmarriagelaws.com/search/united_states/officiants_requirements/index.shtml I don't have a 'Church' or congregation, I simply wanted to be able to officiate at ceremonies that are unorthodox in mainstream society, but in reading this, I am concerned that I have wasted my own time, as well as the administration staff of ULC. Any help, suggestions, thoughts, experience? *edited for clarity
