It’s not as crazy as it sounds. Well, maybe it is, and we’re just crazier than we think we are. Rev. Jim Rehnberg is the Rent-A-Rev (yes, he’s trademarked). Karen and I are meeting with him later this month, and considering that neither of us is part of an organized church, this may make the most sense. He seems very open-minded, jovial and friendly.
This would be the opposite of the kind of "God’s letting you get married because I say so" attitude we want to steer clear of, I think. Also, since he does this for a living, he’s used to dealing with the fact that the people he’s marrying are usually from different faiths, faithless or at least not super observant. Hopefully, this will work out.
