If we have our SAME SEX MARRIAGE PERFORMED AT DOONANNY could ya'll perform songs
[/QUOTE]
If this wedding happens and takes place at Doo-Nanny, I've asked my friend, and fellow poet, Brother Corey Connor, an ordained minister, if he'd agree to do the rites or whatever they're called for the marriage.
He's an iconic figure of Doo-Nanny and the Shadowville All-Stars as well, so Corey would be a given, best choice as pastor for the event.
I've written him, so hopefully we'll be see a response here soon:

Corey, there's been some talk of a wedding at Doo-Nanny this year, and naturally I suggested you as pastor and am passing the details as I know them to you, real or imagined, it sure sounds like an interesting idea.
The discussion is on the Forum this link leads to:

[QUOTE who="Gay Xanadu"]Pleasure Dome! Wow! What a poem! By the way, is there really going to be a reception and Same Sex Marriage or marriages performed this year at DooNanny? If so this is wonderful! Maybe Rachel Madden or Rosie O'Donnel could MC. Let us all know. We are so glad that the GAY LIFE STYLE is now EQUAL to other life styles in America! Thanks for helping. Your HIV-AIDS fund raising makes you like Bob Geldof and Bono. You deserve a NOBLE PRIZE! Thanks! The Gay Community Remembers all who help in the struggle for ORIENTATION EQUALITY.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure Butch Anthony, Robert Seven, Phil Cheney, among the head honchos at Doo-Nanny will approve, there have been several unique weddings there at the Eoods of Wonder before, so it won't be a first.
I'd also see about tapping Corey Connor, a pastor-poet friend of mine, to hold the services or whatever they call it.
Sending Corey a note about it right now.

Which I just did, right here.
