Worcester County Md Question

Hi there, I'm probably going to do a wedding in Worcester County MD (near Salisbury). I called the county clerk to find out the requirements to do a wedding there, and she said you have to be an ordained priest or minister. OK! No problem! I dug a little further to make sure ULC ministers are ok, and she had no idea. Soooo should I take her word for it or should I dig somewhere else and if so, where?

I'd love to get a "regular" ordination through Cherry Hill Seminary or somesuch, but this is a shorter term thing.

Any advice?

I did a wedding in Wicomico county, right next door. My ministry is based in Baltimore, but I was asked to do the wedding so I obliged. The couple gets the papers from the clerk. Where it asks for "name of domination or religious organization" put down "Universal Life Church". For the church location, put down your address. You will be given a paper by the county clerk validating the marriage which you must keep on file at your location. At least thats how it worked for me, but then I do have an established ministry in Baltimore.

If you don't already have one, get a file cabinet. :)

fax machine is a good idea too.
