Pastafarian weddings get NZ blessing
Wellington
COLANDER-WEARING members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster could soon be legally married in New Zealand after the church was approved to hold "Pastafarian" marriage ceremonies.
Church adherents, who wear colanders on their heads, revere pirates and believe the universe was created by a flying noodle, have been recognised in New Zealand as a bone fide organisation. Their right to nominate marriage celebrants was approved on Dec 10 and the church head, the "Top R'Amen", was reported on Sunday as saying that she has filed her application and hoped to begin conducting Pastafarian weddings next month.
