Did you try calling my real phone? The cell phone is in my purse, so if I'm at home and it's in a different room I don't always hear it.

I never actually dial the phone, I just find the right number on the caller ID and hit redial. So I called whichever number you called me from last.
Also, you have a ghost? Don't you have to be dead to have a ghost?
Anyway, go listen to your message and then just post "yes" or "no." I'm lazy, I don't want to find your real number.

Hmmm. It doesn't say anything about needing to be alive. You can't be a riverboat captain, but it doesn't say you can't be a ghost.

Technically, I guess you could be a riverboat captain as long as you were also "An Iowa judge, magistrate, or associate judge serving on the supreme court, court of appeals, or district court;" or "An individual ordained or designated as a leader of a religious faith, regarless of the state of residence or service."
But they're very specific that just being a riverboat captain does not qualify.

No, I don't think I can officiate at my own wedding. Although it doesn't actually specify . . . I wonder if anybody's tried it?

Yeah, only fifty or so of my close friends and relatives are clergy. Why don't I just do it myself? Posts: 40 | Registered: Aug 2002

I, for one, would be highly amused to see Dana perform her own wedding. Of course, if the state decided such a thing is not legal, then she and Bob would be living in sin! Posts: 3546 | Registered: Jul 2002

And, under Iowa law, if a wedding is performed by someone not authorized to do so “every member of the wedding party” can be fined. I really would like to see them try to justify that, though. They’re going to fine my flower girl if I have someone shady officiate?
