I'm 15 years old and I'm 100% sure that my 18 year old boyfriend is the one I wanna marry. Is it possible to marry ourselves alone w/o a pastor? Like maybe say a lil prayer or something and thats it?

No you can't.
And, don't get married at 15. You are not grown up yet. You need to finish school and get out into the real world. You will find many things and opportunities will come your way. Live your life now and then get married in 10 years.
Plus, you have to be 18 to be married or have your parents permission.

Obviously, you need to wait until you are a legal age to marry. You can tell your 15 to be asking a question like this. Any I'll say a little prayer for you all right. A prayer that you focus on school and start respecting yourself.
Find some one between 15 and 16. Isn't that statutory rape in the law book?

This depends on what you define as marriage. If you want a legal marriage you need to find a state where they allow a 15 year old to make that decision. Further you could have a justice of the peace perform the marriage (a judge). If you want a marriage simply in the eyes of God, then sex is the marrigae bond maker. However, trust me when I tell you this. If he is indeed the "one" for you. He still will be there when you're 18 and then you can spend the rest of your life 20-60 years together. Be patient and you'll find that 3 years is not a long time to wait for forever.

No. First of all, you are not old enough to enter into any kind of legal contract, and marriage is a legal contract. The "pastor" part isn't what's important. If two adults decide to get married, they can agree to do so legally without any religious supervision at all; however, there must be witnesses to it; they have to declare their intention to be married to each other in the presence of (usually) at least two other people, and satisfy whatever other legal requirements exist in the state where they live (license, registration of the marriage with the county court, etc.) If you want to satisfy the requirements of your particular religious faith, you must consult with your clergyman (pastor or priest) to find out what those requirements are. But again, you cannot get married legally at 15 without the consent of your parents. And there are very good reasons for that.

No, there has to be someone to officiate the wedding and you also have to have witnesses.
If you read all the answers before mine, then I do not need to repeat their advice.
15 is way to young to be trying to do something like this.
Your 18 yr old boyfriend should already know some of this. It sounds like a ploy to get you to sleep with him and you not feel guilty because you were raised in a christian home.
Be careful, and step back, there are plenty more men out there and you are way too young to make that life decision now.
If it is true love, it will still be there when you are an adult, over 21 and better prepared to deal with life.
Have you even thought about, where you would live? How you would pay your bills? If you get pregnant, how you will raise a child, still being one yourself?

But to answer ur question u and ur bf can say and r do what ever u wont but it wont be legal. Not at all w/ out a jusitce of the peace r a pastor. And anyways since ur 15 ur parents would have to sign for u to get married and I dont' see them doing that. I know u think ur very very sure. But trust me I got married when I was 17 b/c I was preg and my grandparents signed for me to get married. And guess what 2 yrs later r less we were split w/ a child to care for. It wont turn out in the end as u wont it to.

No, it quite is not a legally binding marriage. you may desire to record a marriage license alongside with your community county clerk to take transport of the criminal status of being married. additionally, in case you have not have been given the money to make a existence mutually - meaning you're actually not waiting to have your individual place, and help yourselves, your mum and dad are probable real in saying you're actually not mature adequate to be married. truthfully, in case you have been to get married, the place are you going to stay? how can you pay the hire, and get to artwork/college, and purchase groceries, and pay the expenses, in case you do not even have the $one hundred to have a courthouse ceremony finished, so as which you would be legally married? you desire to to get married, yet there is not any way you 2 are arranged for it. And as a facet observe, getting married, considering you will possibly desire to have intercourse without guilt is style of an exceptionally, heavily destructive reason to get married.

At 15 there is no possible way for you to know who is right for you.
Do you want to do the ceremony yourself because you don't think a legitimate pastor would do it for you? That proves right there that you know it's wrong too. Give yourself time to grow up, to look around some more, get to know yourself better, and maybe then you'll realize what you are saying now is a bunch of doo-doo.
