or have the officiating preacher go into an hour long (or longer) sermon about the evils of homosexuality, and then at the end the preacher could say “I know you two would like me to declare that you are married, but because your attempted union is an abomination In the sight of the Lord, I’m afraid I can not sanctify something so unholy if you wish to bring in your own fake ungodly ‘minister’ to conclude the ceremony, you are welcome to, but everyone else here will be leaving before you do so that they don’t defile themselves along with you- have a nice day and thanks for playing”
The “don’t get the license” was for the minister.
And that’s okay, but people have to know how to protect their own rights, though ... and this is an important warning. They may be VERY UPSET in the future if they find out what they thought would apple automatically to them ... doesn’t apply. I wouldn’t want this to happen to anyone ... unknowingly.
BUT ... I have seen some people who have KNOWINGLY SAID that they would give up all their rights under law, pertaining to being married ... and if they are “aware” of that, and they choose to do it, then they have made their decision and that rests on them ... for anythig that happens in the future.
