    Can Sea Captains Really Officiate Legally Binding Marriages?

    Can Sea Captains Really Officiate Legally Binding Marriages?

    Wayne T. asks: What’s the deal with movies showing sea captains performing marriages? They can’t actually do this, right According to countless movies and TV shows, sea captains, in addition to getting to wear dapper uniforms and snazzy hats, have the ability to marry couples aboard their ships...

    I know I can't legally (without getting ordained or Justice of the Peace or something) but perpetuating the trope would be fun.

    Imagine, the bride and groom sail to say like the sea dogs tavern or a Gally. Ceremony. Magpies' Glory cosmetics involved. Bride in Carefre Summer dress lol.

    Silly and pointless yes. Absolutely.
    But 'twould be fun. 😁

    Course, without custom servers it'll be more like this lol

    With all the Wedding emotes and such, I think that would be grand! What would be the best island for a ceremony? And which would be the best for the Honeymoon?

    Sea Dogs Tavern (open it!) For the land ceremony.

    I would say on a Gally with the Magpies' Glory set. Or whatever set the couple wanted lol.

    Honeymoon? Tribute Peak. Gonna need some privacy yeah? 😋

    It could even be a mini TT lol.

    I love the picture. I think that it would a cool idea to do that. I wish weddings were more fun like your idea. It would definitely be something I would do if I get married: AKA sailing boat wedding because that would be so fun.
