Some of these Pastafarians are not being very helpful.

john196920022001: The only legal function ordained ministers have is performing marriages. I think this is the only issue where we need some kind of ordained officiant. I am already and ordained minister so I could perform a Pastafarian marriage if members are serious about the Pastafarian marriage issue.

Moral Minority: Only a pirate captain can perform a marriage ceremony, so you had better get yourself a cutlass, pistol, pirate regallia and a parrot.

john196920022001: That's fine if there is a provision available to do marriages. Is there some kind of official ordination to authorize Pastafarian pirate captains to marry? My main concern is to make sure the marriage is legal

Imber: What about the law that allows a ships captain to marry people as long as the boat is at sea? The only question then would be how long ago a Pirate Captain would have had to steal the boat to have it be considered his/hers. : )

evilbelgian: I think we honestly need a more realistic way to ordain our 'priests' than "sail the seven seas scavenging for loot". Still a formal ceremony would be awesome.

Zankou 2.0: There's no formality in piracy.

LOL - that's the sort of conversation we sometimes still have at our tabletop RPG sessions. Just take each statement on its own and see how far you can run with it ... .

I'm Pagan/Pastafarian, ordained by the ULC. Do you think my ordination carries over to the Pastafarian side? (And in California, the legal requirement for a minister authorized to perform a wedding is that the couple being married recognizes the validity of said minister to minister.)
