Need minister for wedding-Austin area

[Francisco 2.0 32587]

Hi all-

As subject says, my brother in law is getting married the weekend after Christmas at a ranch in small town outside of Austin.  The minister that was chosen for the ceremonies is now unavailable, and they are scrambling.  Nondenominational is acceptable.  If you have a name/number, just send a PM please.  Thanks all.

I was wondering if you had lost your mind. After seeing your posts in the Divorce thread I was a little concerned.

Did the Reverend Kathy Russell make the move to Surly? She might be available.

Spike Gillespie. Getting married by an atheist lesbian is the most austin thing possible. She’s very cool.

350 plus travel and lodging expenses and I’ll do it.

I can’t help regarding a minister but he should hire this DJ. Or Crayon’s band.

I’m ordained (Universal Life Church Holler!), and I’ve married about 5 or 6 couples. So far they are all still married! Getting married by a divorce attorney is like reverse jinx.

Not shitting you here (& I have zero info as to scheduling availability), but @Brisketexan 's wife does this as a pretty much 50% full time gig (math works 15% of the time, every time).

Buzz him up & see whassup.

I’ll pay for@MissinginAction to get ordained if you promise to have an open bar before the ceremony.

Shit, all one needs to actually have is a Notary license (or certificate or whatever it's called).  Are you ready to go the distance?

She does, but we'll actually be out of town that weekend (she'll be back on the 30th, ahead of us...because she has a wedding booked).

BUT, she has partner pastors who work under her umbrella.  PM me with a date, and she'll make sure you get covered.  They do this sort of thing with some frequency (parachute in when a minister bails etc.).

I can get the stamp thing on Monday.

Go the distance.

I vote MIA.

This could actually be a very lucrative side gig for him (provided it doesn't interfere with his kayak outings).

Grizzled guy with a 3 day old scratchy unshaven face wearing a slightly mismatched suit with obvious ring around the collar, who may or may not be nursing a hangover to officiate your event, guarantees he will go to the reception (& might possibly need a ride over, you pay for his ride away), may or may not hit on some of the wimmenz, dance slightly inappropriately against the bride's mother & let forth a raunchy toast to the couple (so as to save the best man from that wretched duty).

Prob. a starting rate of $ 175 for a local (to Austin) gig, max 2.5 hours, no religious overtones other than the attendees saying "Oh god...".

I'm sure that is a business model that could get some legs.
