They have to make sure you're not an illegal alien. The Man's always trying to keep you down.

As in any state now your SS number is needed to verify if there is still a marriage and if youre wanted, etc. No choice if you want to get married

Here is information you are looking for:
State of Florida 741.04 Marriage license issued.--
(1) No county court judge or clerk of the circuit court in this state shall issue a license for the marriage of any person unless there shall be first presented and filed with him or her an affidavit in writing, signed by both parties to the marriage, providing the social security numbers or any other available identification numbers of each party, made and subscribed before some person authorized by law to administer an oath, reciting the true and correct ages of such parties; unless both such parties shall be over the age of 18 years, except as provided in s. 741.0405; and unless one party is a male and the other party is a female. Pursuant to the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, each party is required to provide his or her social security number in accordance with this section. The state has a compelling interest in promoting not only marriage but also responsible parenting, which may include the payment of child support. Any person who has been issued a social security number shall provide that number. Disclosure of social security numbers or other identification numbers obtained through this requirement shall be limited to the purpose of administration of the Title IV-D program for child support enforcement. Any person who is not a citizen of the United States may provide either a social security number or an alien registration number if one has been issued by the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Any person who is not a citizen of the United States and who has not been issued a social security number or an alien registration number is encouraged to provide another form of identification. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to mean that a county court judge or clerk of the circuit court in this state shall not issue a marriage license to individuals who are not citizens of the United States if one or both of the parties are unable to provide a social security number, alien registration number, or other identification number.

Are you legal? Or are you a wanted felon? Or are you married to somebody else already?
Seems like that is the only reason you'd not want to give out your ss number.

They ask for an ss number to make sure you are a U.S. resident and to see if you are already married

Partially to make sure you're not married already; and to make sure you don't have warrants out on you.

If you are afraid of a background check I would let my fiance no what the problem is before the wedding.
