Jedi May Be Allowed To Perform Marriage Ceremonies In Scotland

Posted by samzenpus on from the may-the-force-and-love-be-with-you dept.

ceview writes "The Marriage and Civil Partnership Bill (Scotland) will allow groups promoting a belief to marry couples according to a report on the BBC. The government said the change was relevant to bodies such as humanists, who are classed as religious rather than non-religious at the moment. Groups such as The Flat Earth Society and Jedi would be allowed to perform such ceremonies."

      Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi's life, so you might say we're encouraged to love.

      *force choke*

      I've never heard it called that before, but if you can't get married I guess it's the only option.

    I look forward to the first Unix promotion group wedding. Probably followed by an Apple Fanbois civil partnership.
