AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the idea of having a physicist officiate a wedding ceremony in Oklahoma, as the couple is already legally married and wants a celebratory event for family. Participants suggest contacting local universities or national labs to find a physicist willing to perform the ceremony, although they note it may be challenging unless the physicist is particularly enthusiastic or compensated well. The conversation includes humorous suggestions for how a physicist might incorporate scientific themes into the ceremony, such as references to chemistry and physics concepts. One contributor shares a personal experience of a physics professor who officiated a wedding, highlighting the rarity of such arrangements. Overall, the thread combines practical advice with light-hearted banter about the unique nature of the request.

I thought it would be a fantastic idea to have a physicist to perform the wedding ceremony (instead of an ordained minister/priest/etc).

It would be pretty simple because we are already married (married via court house last summer), and now we are just doing a wedding for everyone in the family and whatnot.
However, I don't know were to begin to look or who I could ask? The more of a veteran physicist the better it would be!

I look forward to reading responses!
(The wedding will take place in Oklahoma, by the way.)

Well where do you think physicists reside? You'll want to contact a local university or national lab. I highly doubt you'll find someone to do this unless they're a really good sport, or unless you're willing to pay a pretty good amount of money.

Why? What on Earth do you expect them to do?
 
Call Jim Parsons; he can conduct the ceremony in Klingon. :biggrin:
 
"I now pronounce you permanently entangled. You may osculate the bride." :biggrin:

"phase of Oklahoma..."
 
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two in the bonds of chemical covalency...to love and to share of all of their atoms..."

"They knew from the very start that they were very attracted to one another..."

Possibly something about completing one anothers shells.

I bet they'll have some Pi to celebrate their Bond. :wink:

I could think of some more. But that's all I've got right now...lol

You guys are starting to get pretty desperate, aren't you? Do you not have wives of your own to go and pester?

I sure don't.

I just hope the new couple doesn't have too much electronegativity in their lives. I'd hate to see them attracting multiple bonds...that wouldn't be good.

In college, one of my fellow physics majors got married, with the ceremony performed by one of our physics professors, who also happened to be an ordained minister. (This was many years ago, and he's no longer available.)

You can check out the stores in Walmart. I heard that they keep some decent physicists exactly for these events.
