As I understand it, they can, but. The marriage will not have any legal status. Many years ago, two of my friends who are pagans, were handfasted by a proper bona fide priestess in a very interesting ceremony. However, in order to render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, they had to break out to the registry office, and there get legally married. Which they did, and the feasting lasted until the next morning.
Yes – but it varies from place to place the requirements to get a license to perform marriages. Usually it’s no big deal, just a few papers to fill out at your city clerk office.
The offices of Arcbishops, bishops, priests and deacons within the Orthodox Christian Dicipleship Ministries exist for the service of the faithful in providing them with spiritual guidance and support, as well as in the celebration of the liturgy and the sacraments and other functions pertaining to those ordained to holy orders.
Looks like K-Tel is branching into selling religion (all inclusive ordination package, eh? What? You want more?) http://orthodoxcdm.weebly.com/ordination.html. And here I was thinking that Archbishops, bishops etc. only exist for the power, the authority over everyday drones, the funny clothes and a job where they only have to work on Sunday.
My brother is an ordained minister with this church. In order to wed me and my fiance, he needs a letter of good standing, which you said you’d be happy to provide. Could you please tell me what information you need from me in order to get the letter? Please and Thank you
My husband and I were excited that our ordination certificates came in this week. We are now officially Father Fettuccine and Mama Manicotti. We hope that everyone shall one day be touched by his noodlely appendage.
In all seriousness, could someone ordained perform a marriage? I would like this to happen.

No problem — just sent.

I would need a letter of good standing in order to wed. Would it be possible to get one here? Thanks!
