i,m aware that when marrying in new jersey you have to obtain yr liscience from the part of jersey that the bride resides in.. if she doesnt reside in new jersey then its wherever the grrom resides.which is fine so my fiance resides in parsipphany new jersey...so we need to get the liscince from the parsipphany registras office.....now this is also fine but we want to get married via civial service then big wedding yr later.. trouble is the mayor or judge only marrys on atuesday and a wednesday.im only going for 3 weeks one of which those thursdays is thanksgiving.i have asked what dates they have available but they say they wont divulge this information till my finance applies for the licience.greattttttt!! which doesnt help me at all as its only good for 3weeks.could i not obtain my licience at this office but get someones else to marry us from another office??? as long as we are marrying in new jersey..is this allowed...???

Get a different mayor or judge. You can get married in one town and have a mayor from another do the ceremony. Was at a civil wedding in Westfield where the mayor of Garwood did the wedding. Find someone who will work with you.
Also, your spelling!!! use the spell checker! That was pretty rough to read!

My husband and I live in NJ now and we had a similar problem - he lived in Hoboken but I lived in Flushing, NY at the time. We had a civil service and then a ceremony later.
NYC has no residency requirement, so we had the civil service at City Hall in NY to get it over with. So, you can get the civil service done in NYC first, then get another NJ marriage license to do your ceremony in NJ. It's perfectly fine. A lot of people do 2 different ceremonies. You don't even need to get a second marriage license because the first marriage is valid - this is great if the second one will be a religious ceremony. That's what we did.

why not get married in another state, like NY or Nevada. I mean people get married in Vegas all the time and my guess they are not from the state.
