27. Members even have their own wedding ceremonies
Along with Zeena’s baptism, one of the most controversial early events of the Church of Satan was the Satanic marriage of radical journalist John Raymond and socialite Judith Case on February 1, 1967. The event was filmed for San Francisco television, and photographs appeared across the US media to shock and appall in equal measure, with LaVey once again donning his ridiculous horned cape and the presence of the ubiquitous naked lady (or ‘altar’). Alas, the Church of Satan’s weddings are not recognized legally, and so you have to get married somewhere conventional, too. Probably not a church, mind you.
