I have to be up earlier than usual tomorrow so I can catch the 7:47 train to work. I have a 9 am meeting, so being there early is de rigueur.

Today, I had dinner with Kofi and Theresa and they asked me somewhat officially to officiate their wedding ceremony. I’ll have to get a certificate from the Universal Life Church just in case the county clerk wants to see my ordination certificate. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the exact date of my ordination - except that it was in the summer of 2002. I will have to write a letter to the ULC headquarters and get that info. I looked into the regulations for New Jersey, and this ministership is recognized by the state, so it will be legal and lovely:

New Jersey 37:1-13.

Authorization to solemnize marriages 37:1-13.

Each judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, each judge of a federal district court, United States magistrate, judge of a municipal court, judge of the Superior Court, judge of a tax court, retired judge of the Superior Court or Tax Court, or judge of the Superior Court or Tax Court, the former County Court, the former County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, or the former County District Court who has resigned in good standing, surrogate of any county, county clerk and any mayor or the deputy mayor when authorized by the mayor, or chairman of any township committee or village president of this State, and every minister of every religion, are hereby authorized to solemnize marriage between such persons as may lawfully enter into the matrimonial relation; and every religious society, institution or organization in this State may join together in marriage such persons according to the rules and customs of the society, institution or organization.

I’m excited about putting together a ceremony with them. There is a book about that, too, so I’ll add it to my Amazon.com wishlist. I’m sure I can come up with something creative, but I want to be sure that it’s not so avant-garde and creative that I lose people in the process.

Theresa invited me along to check out wedding dresses on Wednesday night, so that will be lots of fun After my work dinner tomorrow night, I’m going to head over to Barnes and Noble and check out the wedding planners so I can give her one as a gift. There are also come cool ones at Copabananas, so I will stop there later in the week as well.

I have to touch up my nail polish and fold my laundry fold my laundry and touch up my nail polish. I have my clothing planned for tomorrow, so at least that’s settled. What am I wearing? Grey pants, a pink shirt and the new pink Coach pumps. I have a black cardigan I’ll throw over the shirt if it’s cold in the hotel/restaurant.
