I will have to respectfully disagree. If someone seeks me out to marry them ( because its not like I will advertise it as a business or anything) then they have made the whole thing my business. I have had to deal with the pain and mess of a divorce and would like to avoid setting up someone for that same pain. While they can choose to get married by the state no questions asked that is not what they decided to do.
They decided to ask me and I would prefer it that I am comfortable with the situation prior to my name being bound to the ceremony and paperwork as the officiant. They are free to decline my questions and I will wish them the best but would not marry anyone unwilling to take a few minutes to answer some simple questions.
