Regarding weddings, at least in Indiana, the state doesn't care who "officiates" or says the words; they just care who signs the legal marriage certificate. I conducted my brother's wedding before I was ordained, but the pastor signed the paper. The state doesn't care.

We can teach people principles of discipleship until (insert your favorite comparison here), but if they don't do anything about it, i.e., live out those principles, can we really call it "discipleship"? I don't think so.
Especially in the Gospels, I see discipleship as a process of movement closer to Christ-likeness. Teaching alone doesn't do that. In fact, in the NT economy, hearing=doing and faith=obedience. They can't really be separated.
I'll post more on this soon. Lots of thoughts I've been processing recently. Some big things are going to start rolling out at the church in this vein.
