When we went to get married in NC, we applied for a marriage license. We were told that for it to be legal it had to be performed by a member of the clergy or a magistrate, with the following note: magistrates on duty are stationed at the jails, so to have a secular marriage we would have had to have the ceremony at a jail. What lovely symbolism, that. At any rate, I consider that to be a church/state problem.
One thing I love about Florida is that any Notery Public can perform marriages. In fact I (a Gay, Polyamory, Wicca) married some friends of mine in a very lovely cerimony.
Of course when you occasionally refer to Duh-bya as Governor Bush it confuses me. Since my state Governor is Jeb Bush... who is just as big a git as his Presidential brother.

Something that I wanted to comment on before
