Dept. of Personal Favors: I need your help

Filed Under: The City Paper

OK, so I held out as long as I could, but I'm up against the clock here. So here's the deal:

I need to find a minister, or someone minister-like. Doesn't matter what religion. Basically, someone who's willing to officiate my fiancee and I's wedding. And by officiate, I mean sign our marriage license, which is due to expire in early December. See, we're both new here, and neither of know that many people or have any family up this way. And, neither of us is particularly religious. And, we tried to the whole Justice of the Peace thing, but for whatever reason the Phila. County JOP is booked until after our license expires.

So if you know anyone who'd be willing to help us out (preferably for cheap; I just found out I could get one of the Friends licenses for another $90 or so and do it ourselves, so that's Option B) by signing our paperwork, or if you have any suggestions, please email me at jeffrey.billman@citypaper.net.

Thanks...

Look no further than the office just two floors below yours, also known as Plough & the Stars restaurant. Austin McGrath, one of the proprietors is a licensed minister....licensed by The Universal Church of Life, and has presided over many noteworthy weddings in town. Make haste young man...the clock is tickin'.

Any local Mayor can and will do it.  It doesn't have to be in Philadelphia county...
