You would have to check and see if he is still authorized.  He would know, or you can call the phone number on the web page I have listed.\n\nhttp://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/GettingMarried.html\n\nhttp://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/MarriageRequirements.html

Canada is one of several countries that allows gay marriages. Massachusetts is the only state that does. Vermont and Connecticut allow civil unions.

What you need to do is to first figure out what kind of marriage you would have - civil or religious. \nStep 1. \nRegardless of the process you would have to go to the town's clerk's office and fill out an application for request of marriage licence. At this point you will be asked if a civil or religious. \nStep 2. \nIn case of civil they will point you where you would need to set up an appointment with the judge for you marriage vows. In case of religious, contact your religious institution for the marriage appointment. \nStep 3. \nI believe in both the cases above either the Judge's office or your religious institution will send out the completed licence form back to the municipal office for processing. You wait and then finally get your marriage licence. \nStep 4. \nAssuming you are a US citizen, you can then either shop around a good immigration lawyer or ... do it yourself (depending on the complexicity of the case).

It depends on your denomination, and also sometimes varies depending on individual churches.\n\nMost will allow this, I believe, but I would suggest talking to the pastor or preist of the church you would want to marry in.

I don;t know the specific waiting period in Saskatchewan but the vast majority of jurisdictions have a one to three day waiting period.  And most have a maximum period as well before you have to go get a new license and start over.\n\nThere is no special waiting period for remarriage that is different than a first marriage.  All you have to do is be able to prove you're divorced.  The second the judge signs the Divorce Judgment, you can go out and get a license to be married again.

The actual act of ordaining someone, legally is the recording of them as ordained in your churches records since it would be illegal for any branch of government to tell you how to ordain someone.\n\nAs a side note being that you are in NYS if you want you Ordained Clergy to solemnize marriages in the state, i would advise you to look at the following statue and case law\n\nNYS Statue, Domestic Relations, Art 3-12\n\nRanieri v Ranieri \nRavenal v Ravenal \nRubino v City of New York

Each state and sometimes each county has different regulations for who can legally preside at a wedding.  Check at the county courthouse where you will be performing the wedding to see what the requirements of that county and state are.

No.  But they do have to have a wedding at the courthouse (like our justice of the peace).  Many have church weddings, but the courthouse wedding is the one that matters to the state.

Okay, first there are multiple sets of rule depending on whose jurisdiction you are under.\n\nAssuming that you are a Catholic unmarried male under the Patriarchate of Rome, then you must remain celebate for the rest of your life, dedicating your life only to serving God.\n\nOn the other hand, if you are a married or unmarried male of one of the Byzantine Metropolia or Patriarchates, then you can become a priest, but not remarry if your spouse would die.\n\nThe other 20 odd self governing segments of the Catholic Church have their own rules.  I don't know what they do.  I believe some require celebacy and some do not.\n\nThe rules are an issue of discipline not an issue of belief.  No one has a right to be selected to serve a bishop in the presbyterate.  If you believe you are called then you could serve, but you have no "right," to serve unless you are ordained to do so.  Local rules determine who can and cannot be a priest.\n\nAdditionally, rules in Catholicism are generally thought of best as norms rather than laws.  The Roman Catholic Church certainly has married men serving as priests, primarily former Anglican priests who switched.  Likewise, Byzantine priests who are widowed with children really need a wife pragmatically.  Consequently, there are rules to permit marriage as well.\n\nNonetheless, all Christians are obliged to practice chastity.  Of course if you are married that means you need to have sex with your spouse and if you are unmarried you must not have sex with anyone.  Priests actually promise never to marry, as such, they must be celebate.

Decide which church you want to have your servide in and then invite both the priest and the pastor to officiate.  The priest can give you a blessing.  As a graduate student I took as my research project the Pre-Cana marriage preparation course offerred by the Catholic Church for engaged couples and it is a solid, excellent program to sort out issues before they become difficulties after a couple is married.  Whatever church you eventually decide to settle in does not matter.  This Pre-Cana program will help you more than I can say and give you tools to deal with problems when they arise.  Peace and joy!

If you are a seperate ministry (ie not linked to any other religious org) you may simply record the person as ordained in your church records thus making them legally ordained.  As for the rite, that varies.

Thaliax is correct, the couple who elope most likely would be living in sin according to the church and would not be able to receive the sacraments (including communion.)\n\nTo correct this they would have to talk to their priest, and take the steps neccessary to have the church recoginize their marriage - and only the priest can decide what those steps need to be after you are legally married.
