I'm not sure that's correct (but am no lawyer and don't mind being corrected). When you get married in a church, you normally have also applied with the state for a marriage license. You can then go ahead and get married by a JP or a minister or priest- or a captain on a ship- all of whom are recognized as persons authorized to carry out the ceremonial part of the marriage (officiant). However, if a minister marries you without the required legal forms in a purely ceremonial service, I am not sure it's legally binding.
