There was this one time, in university, I rode on the back of a motorcycle with a colander on my head instead of a helmet.

And then, when Amy and I were going to get married nine years ago, we checked out all the on-line religions so people could be ordained ministers.

We went to City Hall.

Now, there’s a New Zealand religion where I can combine both.

Adherents of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster have been approved to perform marriage ceremonies in NZ.

The application from the church was approved by the registrar-general of births, deaths and marriages and listed in the New Zealand Gazette.

“Ahoy Pastafarians! The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was Gazetted on 10 December 2015 – you can search for NZ Gazette and the keyword Spaghetti and see fer yerself! We Be Official! R’Amen!”
