Answer 1

It depends on the state. However, in most circumstances, you must be either an officer of the court (judge or justice of the peace) or an ordained clergy. Some states allow a one-day license for those who are neither. You can inquire at your local courthouse.

Depends on the State. In California, you have to be an ordained minister of a recognized religion or denomination, then it is automatic. In Nevada, all you need do is fill out a form and say that you are a minister and pay the fee.

I've only done marriages in California and Nevada.
