My friends asked me to officiate their wedding, and I've been doing it for friends and friends of friends ever since. I officiated my sister-in-law's wedding, and it was so wonderful since I was already a friend of the groom. I'm in NJ, and the original officiation was in NYC. NYC has their own hoops to jump through to confirm that officiants are legitimate members of the clergy. You have to apply to be an officiant registered with the city. The solution was a $30 payment to the Universal Life Church to have someone send paperwork compliant to NYC's requirements. It even came with a handy clergy parking pass! For future visitors to the thread, make sure you confirm the officiation requirements with the state and municipality. NJ didn't give a drat about paperwork or anything like that. Other states may be the same as NJ. For extra points, I think for like $10 extra you can have your title listed as whatever the heck you want on the church paperwork and the municipality didn't care. I got to call myself an ecumenical rabbi. Drive-by baptisms on the streets, mohel in the sheets.
