one of the other cheese specialists i work with is getting married in september, and had no one to perform her ceremony. enter your favorite reverend, moi. i am, in fact, a reverend now thanks to the universal life church. i'm actually planning on getting the fancy wallet card, just so i can whip it out when necessary. most parts of washington state don't care who officiates at your wedding, but i thought getting ordained would be fun, and good to have as back-up. they have some other fun stuff on their site, like the baker's wedding handbook (which at first i thought was all recipes, until i realized it mean "baker" like a pronoun and not as a profession), and this pretty pin.
i don't know this girl very well, but she does sell cheese for a living so she's already got one thing going for her. we've also already had cocktails together, and thus concluded bonding rite #1. i like her, and it will be fun to be the reverend at a wedding where no one knows me. plus, they're getting married at this sweet place out on camano island, and i am assured free drinks and access to groomsmen. because when she asked if i'd do it i said yes, but told her my fee involved kegs and being able to make-out with members of the wedding party. i'm planning on introducing myself as "reverend amanda" all night long to any hot boy in a suit. i'll be sure to casually mention that i don't belong to a celibate sect, and then ask them if they've ever made-out with a woman of the cloth. damn, this is going to be one sweet gig. who's your new favorite reverend?

Officiating a wedding is about the coolest thing ever. Instant respect at the reception, too! All the aunts and uncles are going to want to buttonhole you and ask about your church and where you went to divinity school, so be prepared...
