By the power vested in me

I was ordained three years ago by the Universal Life Church. Their online application took all of five minutes to complete. Until recently, my certificate of ordination, for which I paid $5, was an office conversation piece. No more.

In March I officiated my first wedding for my step-brother. Last night I married one of my sisters-in-law. I've already got the third booked in October -- football season even! -- with a Coe grad. Hers will be my first non-relative. I'll be interested in how the feedback compares.
