Any individual can apply for a One-Day Designation to officiate a wedding like a best friend or family member. They can apply up to 6 months in advance of the wedding date and up until 1 week before. The wedding just has to be in MA.
Luckily, when Duval Patrick replaced Romney as Governor in Massachusetts, he overturned this order so there is now no residency requirement for Massachusetts marriages. The only requirements are that you both be 18 years of age or older, and that you and your intended spouse not be related by blood or marriage.
A clergy member is an ordained religious leader who serves a specific religious community or congregation and is responsible for providing spiritual guidance, conducting religious ceremonies, and ministering to the needs of their followers.
Depends on where you live, only a few states allow for self-solemnizing. Often you can get a friend or family member in places to register or get ordained online (though like some states dont like that) for a nominal fee and then just file the paperwork.
As mentioned above, AMM offers free online ordination to people of all faiths and backgrounds, and is legally recognized in Massachusetts.
