I like the thought process here....

So do I. Instead of a “wedding”, you could have a “Celebration of Holy Matrimony”. That distinction could give the cake bakers a way around the onslaught being unleashed on them.
I suppose that priests and ministers would have to forgo signing the legal paperwork. A “Certificate of Union in Holy Matrimony” would be a separate document, like a baptismal certificate, issued by the church. We need to find more succinct terminology for all this, but I guess that is where it will have to go.

That is already what happens (except the State license is signed as well). A certificate is given and the spouses' records in their respective baptismal registries are annotated with the date they received the sacrament.

But please bear in mind what I said in post #15: the sodomites will start whining that it's not fair that they can't have ___(whatever term you come up with____. Think I'm kidding? See this thread with an op/ed published by a sodomite shortly after the NY law was changed a couple of years ago.

I agree with all of that, but I suggest that the cake bakers and the florists go ahead and accept all the gay wedding business...”the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous” after all......
