So, Robin, can you witness our marriage?

Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
A heterosexual relationship where both of them actually seem to genuinely like each other is pretty suspect, I gotta admit.

…oh YEAH this was before the full legally-gay marriages wasn’t it
Yup!
Have I ever mentioned that my wife and I got our marriage license from Massachusetts instead of Ohio for that very reason? Cause yeah.
Massachusetts: Come get your marriage license, as long as you don’t like the Yankees.
I wanted to get married in a state that specifically recognised gay marriage
but then it was pulling teeth just to get married at ALL, bc spoons
angry we got hitched under THIS “president” but beggars can’t be choosers
One of the witnesses being a car might be problematic. Or had Ultra Car already gone through an off-panel remake of the Star Trek episode where Data’s put on trial to resolve that?
Getting legislation passed about the rights of sentient autonomous machines must have been one of Robin’s early unseen political moves!
Ultra Car gained citizenship/sentient status before “the gays” could get married.
I forget why Robin is able to marry people. I’m pretty sure being a member of Congress doesn’t make you able to legal marry people.
But Robin doesn’t know that.
She got ordained during one of her sugar-fueled blurs.
What? Pretty sure being a public official *does* allow you to officiate weddings, at least in most states.
Not sure about other states, but in Indiana being a Congressperson in another state doesn’t count.
Getting ordained through Universal Life Church, or American Marriage Ministries counts and takes, like, 5 minutes. (Indiana is one of those states which does require ordination (or be a government official acting in their own jurisdiction), but doesn’t require the cleric to perform any actual religious duties.)
Quick Google says (whether or not it was true in 2008, idk)
Colorado
Couples themselves may solemnize their own marriage (C.R.S 14-2-109). They must apply for paperwork from the County Courthouse in order to do this. However, friends or relatives cannot solemnize their marriage. Out-of-state Clergy need not be registered in Colorado.

I realise that doesn’t specifically answer your question but I assume Willis looked it up and it’s something like how captains can officiate
It’s Robin. She probably got ordained by mail-order for fun, even if she didn’t need to be to do this.
Cadbury Eggs seem like the simplest explanation.
So Robin can just marry people now?
Neat
