Almost a full moon shot somewhere near Juneau, AK in June 2011. Love the simplicity of the composition.

Question by Jennifer H: Does a preacher or justice of the peace have to marry a couple in Alaska?
A friend of my husband and I wants to get married. Well we live in Alaska and he wants my husband to marry them. To preside over the wedding. He said it is legal?? Is it?
Well we looked online and it says if he is a commissioned officer in the Salvation Army. My husband is a commissioned officer but in the Army. Not Salvation Army. I don’t know. Alaska had alot of weird laws..

Answer by Benjamin W
It’s legal so long as he meets the state requirements. If he got ordained online, it’d be legal. There are other legal ways of doing it, but that’s the easiest that I know of.

Check out ULC.net, great source.

    Your husband must be registered with the state in order to have the marriage legally registered. Call the Office of Records and inquire what the procedure is.

    We had a family friend perform our marriage in Alaska. It’s really easy, all they have to do is fill out a form and submit it ot the court. The important thing is that the temporary appointment to perform the ceremony is good for the ONE DAY you specify. So make sure your date is set in stone. If the one day comes and goes and you don’t get hitched, your friend will have to submit another form. It takes about a week to get the form processed.

    Under Alaska Statute 25.05.261(a)(2) 1, anyone can perform your marriage ceremony, including a friend or relative, if they first obtain a marriage commissioner appointment from an Alaskan court as authorized by AS 25.05.081.2 The person should be 18 years of age or older, and does not need to be a resident of Alaska or the United States in order to perform the ceremony.

    2.The court will need the following information:
    ◦The name of the intended marriage commissioner.
    ◦The full names of the bride and groom, including middle initials.
    ◦The month, day and year marriage is to occur.
    ◦The town or physical location where the marriage ceremony will be performed.
    ◦In the First Judicial District the marriage commissioner must also provide his or her date of birth.
    3.There is no charge or waiting period for this appointment. However, applications submitted in the First Judicial District should be submitted at least one week before the wedding date to allow time for the appointment to be processed.
    4.The court will issue a written order appointing the marriage commissioner together with instructions. The marriage commissioner is responsible for ensuring that the marriage is performed in compliance with the law and that the marriage certificate is filed with the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
    5.The marriage should not be performed until the marriage commissioner has a copy of the written order in hand.
    6.If the marriage is not performed on the date stated in the order, a new marriage commissioner appointment order must be obtained.
    IMPORTANT REMINDER: It is the responsibility of the bride and groom to apply for and pick up a marriage license. A marriage commissioner does not have the authority to obtain the marriage license for the couple.

    How to Obtain a Marriage Commissioner Appointment
    1.Contact (by phone, by mail or fax, or in person) the court nearest to where the wedding will be performed. The online court system directory has a complete listing of court locations and contact information. You may also contact the office which handles requests for marriage commissioner appointments in the judicial district of the court nearest to where the wedding will be performed. See Alaska courts listed by judicial district to determine the district. Procedures vary by judicial district; there is no online application form.
