Me and my fiance love his stuff and we want to try to find out if OSC would marry us. I tried looking around to find maybe a 'bookings' number, but couldn't find anything. Any ideas on how to ask him?

I think this is his literary agent. They probably have nothing to do with organizing his public appearances unless directly related to his work, but I'd imagine they know who to contact. The question is if they'll tell you.

Better yet, try the contact link.

In my experience, the most likely result of submitting any kind of unusual request via a "contact us" web form is a standard "thank you for your interest" reply and no follow-up. Messages sent to individuals are often more successful, maybe because they're less easy for the recipient to ignore.
But this site may be an excpetion and/or I may just be prejudiced. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

That is certainly not my experience here.

Thanks, Rivka. I have submitted an email here as well, but thought it was more for the readers as opposed to a'booking' of some kind. Covering all my bases. Thanks for the contact idea. It's definitely worth a try! Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

Nor mine.

There is this little thing about having the authority to preform a marriage ceremony. He ain't got it.

Maybe he could quickly be called as a bishop then he would have the authority, wouldn't he?

Technically, it doesn't take much to get ordained on the Internet. A friend of mine did that for their wedding.

If you're comfortable doing that.

Or in certain states (like MA), you don't need to be ordained at all, but can get state authorization for temporary marrying rights, if the parties involved don't care for a particularly religious wedding, or, in the case of my wedding, the minister lived out of state and was retired for quite a few years, so he needed to restore his previous legal ability.

OSC can't marry you, he's already married.

I get the impression that this sort of ordination is rather frowned upon by many devout members of various religious organizations. The idea being that it makes light of the idea of marriage and that the marriage is not just a contract between two people and their government, but also a solemn vow between two people and their God.
