I now pronounce you civil co-spouses. Go forth and spread Enlightenment values.

June 28, 2007

As announced a few posts ago, my brother and Jen 2.0 (for new readers, my brother’s fiancee is taking my brother’s last name, and therefore my entire name, which might be funny if I became actually famous and every time she called, say, her credit card company and gave her name, someone said “Really? Tell me a joke!”) have asked me to officiate their atheist wedding.

Of course, I can’t exactly go by “Reverend Jen” now, can I?

Maybe I could snag “Secular Humanist Jen.”

I have found that this company makes inexpensive clergy stoles. I am thinking of getting one that says something sarcastic.

Infidels!!!

    I’ve always considered a wedding to be a religious ceremony. It strikes me as odd that atheists would feel the need to go through with it.

    Do North Americans get really good tax benefits for getting married?

    Well, there can be tax benefits but they aren’t nearly as good as say… owning a home.

    Why wouldn’t atheists want to get married? It represents all the same things to us except without the “in the eyes of God” crap that is usually laced through the ceremony.

    Atheists also want to wear expensive dresses and be pretty, pretty princesses and impress their friends with booze and canapes.

Got something to say?
