How do I Get an Ordained Minister License to Marry People?

All it takes to get ordained to marry people is a desire to unite loving couples in matrimony and a computer. In a matter of minutes, you can receive an ordination certificate to legally perform marriages. You can use your credentials only once to perform a marriage ceremony for a family member or friend, or start your own wedding service. Some marriage specialists have their own wedding chapels; some rent space or travel to churches, private homes and banquet halls, and others focus on settings like beaches, parks or locales of particular significance to the bride and groom.
