The question was: Does Conan have the power to offficiate the wedding or is it a mock wedding?
He has to have credentials as a judge, a magistrate, a justice of the peace, or a minister. He has the credentials to show that he is an ordained minister, so therefore, he has the power to perform a legal wedding.
Since he was endowed with the power by the State of New York to perform a legal wedding ceremony, then obviously, the law has been changed.
U mad?

Please do not get hung up on insignificiant little things like where the man officiating the ceremony was ordained. It is meaningless. All that matters is that he was credentialed as necessary to perform a legal wedding ceremony, he did so for a same sex couple, and millions celebrated.

whoa umad? your Friday plan got unexpectedly cancelled or something?
in case you didn't know, I supported it and it's wonderful. I simply showed more background details on Conan's power to officiate the wedding because I was curious to see how he did it and I'm sure everybody's curious too. and I even stated that I should apply for it to wed my gay friends.
