Why Online Ordination? Let Me Count the Ways (Because Apparently, Seven Just Isn't Enough)
Speed: Forget seminary! Online ordination takes about the time it takes to perfect your rendition of "Can't Stop the Feeling!" Just answer a few questions, clickety-clack, and bam! Instant Reverend, Rabbi Robot, or whatever title tickles your fancy.
Convenience: Your pajamas are judging you for that third bag of chips, but who cares? Ordination can happen from the comfort of your couch, in your underwear (though for the ceremony, maybe some pants?).
Price: Broke after that epic bachelor(ette) party? Online ordination is usually free or very affordable. Just don't spend all your savings on the officiant outfit (think Elvis meets Dumbledore).
Uniqueness: Let's be honest, your jokes are legendary (or at least that's what your mom says). Why not add another layer of unforgettable to the ceremony with your unique path to officiant-hood?
But Wait, There's More! (Because the Internet Never Stops Giving)
Here's the thing: While online ordination is legal in Pennsylvania (thanks, First Amendment!), some venues might have their own rules. So, always check with the wedding location before you break out the holy water (or, you know, the fun water gun).
Also, there are a bunch of different online ordination websites. Do some research and pick one that resonates with you (or at least has a cool certificate design).
Important Side Note: Being ordained online doesn't automatically make you a religious leader. You're not obligated to start a church or anything (unless, of course, "Church of Perpetual Silliness" is your dream).
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
