You can always ask a friend to do it. Just have them go online and become an ordained priest through universal life church. I’ve done 2 marriages so far for family members. Easy. And you can have someone important to both of you perform the ceremony. Either way congrats. Good luck!

For a wedding? Justices of the Peace in Rhode Island aren’t permitted to officiate weddings. There are plenty of good non-denominational officiants though, and just about anyone can get a one-day license to perform a wedding ceremony.

We’re doing this for our wedding. It doesn’t require a friend to be come ordained but they can still perform the ceremony. https://www.sos.ri.gov/Divisions/NotaryPublic/OneDayOfficiant

I got ordained to officiate my cousins wedding and I will do it for free. I've done 6 weddings so far. All are still married too lol

I got ordained for my friends wedding and have ended doing four weddings so far. Didn't cost me anything, I'm sure a friend would do the same for you (assuming your asking about a wedding). I'll do it for free if you need it in a pinch.

Thank you so much!!
