a eucharistic minister can not marry you without being ordained- but i think it is simple- it can be done over the internet - like Joey did on friends - they do it on 'For better or for worse'

at town hall you only get the license - you get married the on your wedding day when the marriage license is signed and witnessed

in some other countries - you do get married in town hall and then have a blessing

but can we get married by a justice of the peace and then just have him bless us????
