Is a Same-Sex Ceremony or Civil Union legal in the State of New Jersey?
Yes. Alternative Unions would be honored to unite you and your life partner under the recently enacted NJ Civil Union Law. Effective February 19th, 2006, the State of New Jersey recognizes Civil Unions. According to New Jersey State law, those who can officiate a marriage or civil union are any Federal, State, Municipal Judge or Magistrate (even if they are retired), any county clerk, any mayor or deputy mayor of a town, and Chairman of any township committee, any religious minister of any church. As a minister of the Universal Life Monastery, I can legally perform your ceremony according to your wishes.
