people of ANY religious practice can go to court and be married, gays still can't.
if you really want to be married, go to court, get your marriage license, then have a party aftewards with your rituals, or whatever you want to do

What Wiccan would WANT to be married in a Christian church?...That's part of my point...
One of the MAJOR reasons that this country was even FOUNDED was because we left England to 'Flee from Religious Persecution'
Why should people of other religions be FORCED to carry out Christian ceremonies, just to be 'legally married'?......What if a Christian was told that THEIR marriage 'didn't count' unless it was performed the same way that another religion may consider valid?...Christian marriage ceremonies would actually be 'blasphemous' in the face of other religions, would they not?
