Go to or call your county building, say we want to get married to someone, they'll direct you to the correct place (make sure you have your birth certificate and social security cards). They will give you a marriage license (cost money) usually there is atleast a 24hr. waiting period before you can use the license and if you ask, I am sure they can tell you a list of people with the authority to wed y'all...tell them you want a short, simple, and private ceremony (which usually only last about 10-15 min.'s then all you need is 2 witnesses.

Go to your local Clerk of Courts office. Not all places have a Justice of the Peace. Some have magistrates or retired judges that can perform the ceremony. A minister, pastor, priest or rabbi can also marry you without all the pagaentry of a large cermony. Some place require you to wait for 36 hours from the time you apply for the marriage license, some are backed up weeks in advance. You have to be at least the age of majority in your state, have your birth certificate and a form of picture i.d. like driver's license or state i.d. Most states require a blood test also.

Vows have no longer something to do with faith. The vows are commitments you're making on your spouse. Marriage is a criminal prestige no longer a religions one. you may have a civil ceremony it extremely is a non-non secular wedding ceremony ceremony. A courthouse or magistrate ceremony are civil ceremonies. yet to respond to your question certain you are able to. Its very uncommon and maximum wedding ceremony officiants wont do it with out the ceremony. yet all you want to be legally married is a valid marriage license, it extremely is signed with assistance from the officiant, witnesses and and also you & your spouse and turn it again into the issuing courthouse.

Your local Clerk of Court's office can tell you where to get a marriage license or your Register of Deeds office. If you do not want a church wedding or wedding chapel like in Las Vegas, a Justice of the Peace or Magistrate can normally marry you in their office. Call their office and inquire.

It depends on where you live. Some states have no waiting periods, so you can get married the same day you go in to get your license. The website I list below gives you exact requirements by state.
Good Luck.

Take a trip to the justice of peace and have a small civil ceremony (its very routine for them), have a wittness for each and sign the marriage license.

Go to your local clerk of courts...they will be able to tell you exactly how long of a wait time there is and how much it will cost...you can order your marriage licence and get married by the JOP...I know you both have to be there and have SS Cards anf Photo IDs with you in order for them to order your marriage licence
Good Luck

You want a fast weeding, with no ceremony, go to Las Vegas. It's fast, easy, and then enjoy you honeymoon.
