What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
We received our marriage license in Missouri. The minister that performed the ceremony was ordained in Kansas. We first took our "vows" in Kansas, then crossed the state line in Missouri and repeated our "vows". Was this marriage "LEGAL???

Probably. I don't think that a minister is only permitted to conduct marriages in the state where they were ordained. However, make sure that the marriage was registered in MO, it it was, its legal.
