New Follower of Dudeism...Weddings?

[MkNY83]

Just out of curiousity, have any ordained dudeists actually performed any type of ceremony?  If so, what state and are you sure its legal?  If not, fck it, i'll smoke some thai smoke, but if so...even better I'll smoke some thai smoke and marry my buddy and his chick, who's looking to save some cash for his wedding.

I think Dudeist ministers are only ordained in order to pass-on and preach the wisdom of Dudeism. It would be funny to follow certain protocols in order to constitute a Dudeist wedding, but that would just be along the lines of Daoism.

Tao is one.

It is the perfect harmony of the universe.

Two divides itself into heaven and earth, or yin and yang.

It manifests in men and women as subtle yin/yang energies.

Men and women complement each other, and each contains an integeral part of the other.

As students of the Integeral Truth, a man and a woman build their earthly relationship on the refinement of thier subtle energies. They cultivate together to reach a state of perfect harmony.

Therefore, their relationship remains untouched by the constant changes of earthly life.

They unite their virtue in Tao and their union is everlasting.

Their lovers' hearts transform to be rainbows, that join each other in perfect harmony.

The golden ribbon on (bridegroom's name) neck represents the sun. The silver ribbon on (the bride's name) neck represents the moon. When the great symbols of yin and yang harmonize, all beautiful creations come to earth.

In recognizing one another as husband and wife, (bridegroom's name) and (bride's name) wholeheartedly join each other to become one.

This beautiful marriage shall be fulfilled by the witness of all your friends.

I pronounce you husband and wife, and sanctify your marriage to become a perfect union in Tao.

The Shrine of the Eternal Breath of Universal Essense offers three bells to celebrate this beautiful marriage.
