Topic: Katherine Chancellor, CLERGY-IN-A-PINCH??

Additional Comments: I must have the attention span of a flea!  Did someone else catch how Katherine came to be the traveling minister to perform this wedding?  Granted, I came in a few minutes late today, but pray tell how did this happen?  Is it a 'play-wedding for kicks?'  Is it legal?  What the?  If it's not legal, why is Phyllis so  upset?  And if legal, this takes the cake over all the baby-itis stuff and ch______munky stuff.  Seriously, what gives, I draw a blank!

they're just playing house anyway, Augie.  who cares if it's legal.  this way, after amber screws up..literally..then they can both walk away with minimal consequence.

my understanding of the definition of ordained is to be "set apart for God's use", as in 'set apart' from people who live for themselves and designated as one who lives for God's purpose.  in many ways, and i did think this in that moment of watching, i think katherine is a good choice for this instant online ordination.  however, God doesn't set the called out apart in an online instant...not that i've ever been aware of in scripture, anyway.  there is a 'grooming' process of the spirit involved.

now that theology class is over, back to the show.  a quickie service by an un-verified minister is perfect for these two.  it's all a big joke, much like their relationship. 

wow.  i feel kind of mean saying that.

  • Ha, judge, that out-of-the-blue emergency ordination with it's swiftly put-together rooftop wedding chapel brought out the snarkiness in me too........instantly. That was just TOO much.......................Augie

    I'm sure state laws vary but it's my understanding that a person doesn't need to be clergy or a justice of the peace to perform a marriage ceremony.  I've known a couple of people who officiated for close friends, and they simply got whatever paperwork their state required them to have for that particular day.  Heaven forbid we now have to listen to Esther refer to Kay as Rev. C!

  • SO! Y&R just gave a whole bunch of people who didn't know that a great idea. As for Esther................put a sock in it.......................Augie

  • Yes Martypants. i think they did get their license. The other day before Amber started making all of the arrangements she siad to Daniel,''One thing done a thousand to go'' or something like that referring to the license as the first step done for wedding planning.
  • When Daniel brough Kay her ''certificate of ordination'' he also stated that he had ''one marriage license'' and handed her two pieces of paper which she looked at.
  • I'm sorry! I just saw my two identical responses above. They were supposed to be a response to my topic, which is about sixteen above this, on Billy. And the response is there as well. That's what I get for typing at 5:00 a.m., the time when topics are rolling off the board. Again, I apologize .... Joe H

    Per Wisconsin code, a couple doesn't really need a third party to officiate at their marriage.  As long as they have a valid marriage license and two witnesses, they can actually marry themselves by simply declaring that they are husband and wife [765.16(3)].   Also, if there's some future question as to the authority of the person who officiated a marriage service, it's not a reason for the marriage contract to be invalidated.   The state considers it an ''immaterial irregularity,'' like a techinical defect, that's corrected by the couple believing and acting as if they are married [765.22].

  • I hope Noah and Eden didn't hear you say that! If emancipation looked good to Noah, think how he'll light up over this!....................Augie
  • Well, Eden's not emancipated, and no one is 18, so she's not eligible for a license without Michael's permission. Isn't he her legal guardian?

    On-line ministeries.  Happens in a flash, apparently.  You could have come in on time and blinked and missed the reference.  Just think of the possibilities, what with all the soap marriages and christenings . . .  they won't have to pay Corben Bernsen to come back, his mom can do it!

  • Well, roxie, I'll be cracked! I found the site and sure enough, they promised I could 'become a minister and do weddings almost instantly'. However, almost instantly probably didn't mean 'this afternoon'. If I could have said what I was checking this out for, they'd have no doubt told me to go fly a kite. Who knew?..............Augie
  • oops, roxi, excuse the wayward e I tacked onto your name.....Augie
  • Who knew? There really IS a website to become a minister in a minute? Before long you will be able to perform brain surgery with an online degree! LOL GJ
  • They all belong to The Church of the Silver Chipmunk anyways.
