I am, and have presided over two weddings.

The ones I did for puppies and my nieces dolls probably don’t count.

I edited the thread title to reflect the subject. **Clothahump** , “Just out of curiosity” is not a sufficiently clear and specific thread title.

When the vampires attack, I’ll be blessing the ULC-brand holy water.

Another one here. Was supposed to do one wedding, but the bride’s family balked and went for a “real” pastor.

Did it in high school from an ad in the back of Rolling Stone, haven’t ever done anything with it, but I did get my best friend ordained with the ULC so that he could marry my wife and I.

I’m ULC-ordained, though I’ve never had occasion to use it. It looked like I’d be called upon to officiate a wedding once, but they found someone who looked better in robes.

I use holy hooch. (The cheap stuff, of course–no sense wasting a good label.) If the holiness doesn’t stop the vamps, you can set them on fire.
