Once more, with feeling...

I am a lay member of the Order of Preachers. This means that whilst I have taken Novice vows and will hopefully take Temporary and Permanent vows that bind me to the Order for life, they are not the Evangelical Counsels of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. Nor do I wear a habit, apart from my black and white Cross. As yet, I do not feel that I am being called by the Lord into closer union with Him through the Evangelical Counsels, so, therefore, I am not becoming either a nun, or a religious Sister, and at no point have I ever intimated that the lay Fraternity I go to is anything other than a lay Fraternity, but enough with the nun jokes, thanks, they're becoming just a tiny bit tiresome.

And yes, I can still get married if I want to.
