ALL of them. matter of fact, civil recognition of a religious ceremony---well, let's just say if you really believe in separation of church and state, where does that leave marriage--and explains why you must buy a marriage license, that covers the civil part of it i suppose.

Here in NY, marriages don't have to happen in a church. A Justice of the Peace can unite a "couple"...man and woman.
There are some things I really don't understand that the government decides...like why do I have to buy a license for my dog, but not my cat?
Does the government really make money off the dog owners but provide special favor to cat owners?
And why is there sales tax on potato chips but not potatoes? (here in NY)
Crazy stuff!
