The Oklahoma House passed a law a couple of weeks ago making it so that only church clergy can issue marriage licenses. It will be interesting to see if that passes their Senate.
Wow.
Wife and I wanted to use a certain venue just for our reception. It happened to be part of a nearby catholic property. When I called, the priest told me that I would have to have a Catholic wedding to be able to use the venue. To do that, he then told me, I would have to attend a catholic church for min 6 months, meet weekly with the priest, then ultimately apply for membership the church, and even at that point I wouldn't be guaranteed. It would be up to the priest to decide if we deserved to be catholics.
OK ppl can look forward to at least some similar BS. Problem being that CNSWife and I could tell him to eff off and still get married elsewhere.
