Followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster call themselves Pastafarians and they have have staged their first legally recognised wedding dressed as pirates which is a stipulation of the Church's guidelines.
Members of the church profess the belief that the world was created by an airborne spaghetti and meatballs-based being and humans evolved from pirates and Toby Ricketts and Marianna Fenn have the honour of being the first to tie the Pastafarian 'noodle knot' conducted by the 'Ministeroni'.
More weddings are planned although the recognised Church's are a bit sniffy about the atheist Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster mocking religion and muscling in on their marriage racket.
I suspect the real problem is they fear religious people will look at the idea of humans being created by a monster made of pasta and think its absurd and then say hang on, we believe a man sitting on a cloud made humans from a mound of earth and a rib and put them in a magic garden with a talking snake..WHAT ARE WE DOING!!!
