1. Useless!

Riculous, stupid and insane.

not to. Traditionally, marriages were on WEDnesday's under a canopy and the bridegroom came for the bride at midnight, just as the Jewish Messiah is coming for His Bride at midnight possibly this year in the next fifty days before Pentecost or at Pentecost. Maybe not, but that is what tv evangelist Perry Stone thinks could happen this year or a year very soon.
3. On a home garden tour of Lemoore, California, I saw a

marriage license signed by the Pope for Bill and Anne Stone. It was a grand certificate of marriage, very elaborate. So those of you who want a marriage license signed by the Pope can get one, but I am sure it is costly.
4. No. 1 Phoenix

With all the hatred toward Jews these days, I'm not sure why you would denigrate people who want to incorporate a Jewish tradition into one of the most important events of their lives.
5. On the positive side.. THEY can't be refused a GET..........

All they have to do is tear up the paper and file for divorce if the guy turns out to be a jerk.
6. The Chief Ashkenazi and Chief Sephardic Rabbis in Israel
Rivkah   (04.15.12)
could make a lot of money like the Pope if they offered for sale wedding licenses signed by the Chief Rabbi as a confirmation of the Jewish marriage wherever it was. The Bill and Anne Stone family of Lemoore, California, has their Papal marriage license in a big glass case in the bedroom. I would think they would want it in the living room over a fireplace, but perhaps that is to remind them to be faithful in the marriage since so many Catholics are not.
7. Bravo to these couples!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (04.15.12)
Like Hagee's group, they're just getting a glimmer of the proper path (Torah), but they ARE on that proper path even though it's at the very beginning. The Netzarim work, begun in the early 70s, was an earthquake that is now developing a tsunami of global proportions in the world of religion. Hagee, alone, has over a million followers recognizing that "Torah is the only Way" -- just the very beginning of the proper Way, but "al Dereikh" just the same. A world of helpful information about this global revolution, to help people to learn how to follow Torah, is contained in the Netzarim website at www.netzarim.co.il Paqid Yirmeyahu Paqid 16, The Netzarim

13. Non-Jewish?
Joseph ,   London UK   (04.17.12)
The bridegroom in the photo is wearing a white kittel and a streimel. A bit overdoing it for a Gentile! The 'priest' looks surprisingly rabbinical.
