I’m not sure… I know a guy that is also ordained with ULC, and he can do weddings in Ohio but he can’t do them in Michigan.

I don’t think that any state can prescribe or prohibit particular sects from officiating wedding ceremonies. The US constitution (First Amendment) won’t let states pick and choose which religious sects are “wise enough” or “good enough” to do the job, and which ones are not.

In West Virginia, where I live, anybody can do it. Dr. William Pierce (late former founder of the National Alliance) officiated a few marriages between some of his employees. I could probably officiate at a wedding, too, scoundrel & atheist though I am, if a couple wanted me to do it.

So, my opinion is this: If any state government tries to stop a clergyman of ANY RELIGIOUS SECT from officiating a wedding, then the “priest” can file a civil rights lawsuit based on the First Amendment’s “separation of church and state” clause in a federal court and sue the state’s pants off.
