It is a busy spring season for construction, whether major renovations or even just some small projects like Matt Cavaco is doing at his house on the corner of Woodruff Avenue and Robinson Street in South Kingstown.
“I want to get this project done during April so that I have time for myself during the summer and it’s important that it gets done now with my son liking to run around,” said Cavaco recently as he and some friends nailed boards into posts to create a fence for his two-year-old son, Callan, and the family puppy, Lennox, a Golden Doodle.
Amber Collins of South Kingstown says she is ordained “by Dudism, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the Church of Universal Life.” This has qualified her to officiate some marriages in Rhode Island.
Now she may not need those instant online, easy-to-get, credentials.
The State of Rhode Island has said “I do” in giving marriage officiant rights to anyone over 18 year-old wanting to legally marry a couple.
With a swift stroke of his pen this summer, Gov. Dan McKee put the final stamp on the law making anyone over that age the state’s legal witness by simply giving the state a small sum and getting official permission a few weeks later.
