My fiance and I want to get married outdoors, which means we need to find an officiant.  I would love to ask my Uncle to marry us, but I do not know the steps to become an officiant - need help please! :)

    Depending on the area you don't even need to be ordained. Virginia and now DC allow one time authority to marry someone. You have to post a $500 bond in VA, which you get back when you bring back all the paperwork. The one issue with this is that you must be a resident. It is very very difficult to perform a ceremony in VA is you do not live there. I'm sure this is the case in some other states too.

    Like others said, research the area.
