you dont have to have a blood test, three day waiting period, license is good for thirty days from date of issue. And with most churches you have to go through some kind of counseling. Unless you wanna have a wedding somewhere besides a church. Good Luck! Congrats

You have to go get a marriage licence. You need two witnesses.
Then you have a three day waiting period.
