Yeah, I'm not current at all, haven't been for 15+ years.  I'd need a medical, which would be fine, and a biennial flight review, which I could not pass currently of course, I thought about it, I'd need maybe 5-8 hours of dual with an instructor at $160 an hour.  It's kind of expensive to maintain your currency.  I did send in to get my license replaced, somehow I left it and all my gear back in Cincy.  That's another item or ten, a headset, maps, log book, ...

Not gonna happen.

In France, any wedding takes place at the Marie, or other civil building by a civil procedure.  That's it, many couples may then have a religious ceremony after that.  I prefer that system, it's a civil wedding (leading to a civil marriage is another story).  The religious ceremony is just for show basically and to comply with religious beliefs.

I've attended two, they are elaborate affairs.

So in France the only way to get married is if done by the Government? amazing

God bless America

I'm good with the only governmental involvement in my wedding, is the license I have to procure.  Preferably not event that but we can't go backwards I suppose.

One of my closest friends is the Methodist minister who married my wife and me.  He was the assistant youth director at my church when I was in high school and we remained best friends thereafter.

He's an amazing dude, an unbelievable character, I could tell you stories about him and you'd think I'm making them all up.

Nowadays he's a retired minister and sports writer, who inherited family oil money and so now he does whatever he wants, including owning a giant mansion in downtown Austin, traveling the world, and most recently writing and producing plays in New York.  Nothing on Broadway yet, but I won't be surprised when it happens.

But wait, there's more!
