All you have to do is get one of them to sign for you. Take one of them to your local courthouse and get your license. You usually have a 3 day waiting period and the license are good for 30 days, after the 30 days and you haven't used them you then have to reapply. I will not say anything negative to you about your age because I believe you already know that. Good Luck

Slooooow down.
You must look at the laws in your state. You will need to have parental consent in most states. To get the license, you will go with your parents to the courthouse and get the appropriate papers. Yes, you can marry an 18 yo with your parents approval.
Now, while we're sloooowing down, I want you to stop and think about this. If you are pregnant, that is no reason to get married. In fact, it's one of the worst reasons to get married. You may be in love now. That's great. Having a baby puts a whole different spin on your world.
Even if you're not, you must stop and think about priorities. Is having a healthy marriage where both couples willingly and freely dedicate their lives to making their lives together joyful and harmonious something you absolutely know you can do? If you get married, that is what you are vowing to do.
What do you plan to live on? Who will make money for the family? Maybe you're thinking military? What will you do when your spouse is killed overseas? What will you do if you have a child and your spouse is killed?
Do you know how to pay for rent, sign up for utilities, balance a checking account, and live by a budget?
Please, think of these things carefully before you decide to marry.

If you love each other then you both will wait until you are of legal age. The law requires you to be 18 for a reason. Besides marriage is no joke, you need to think of it as a long term commitment. Take your time and think about it, you have 3 years. I hope you chose the right decision.

No you cannot get married...you are way to young and you need to stay in school.......and if you don't knock it off I am going to ground you! Anyway thats what I used to say to my own kids!lol. Sweetie you are not ready for that yet....it's a tuff world out there with bills to run a house and car and all that stuff! I know you don't believe this but the best years of your life are all ahead of you. Take your time and enjoy your life...if this person loves you that person will be there when you are both older. I married when I was 15yrs old back in 1969 and it was the worse mistake of my life! I ended up with 4 kids and a young husband that didn't take the time to even find himself. Two years after I married him he was out exploring the world with other girls and broke my heart. We ended up in adivorce years latter because we were way to young! We didn't have a good education and we had low paying jobs struggling for everything....that in itself can tear a marriage apart! Please don't do it!!! I was there and I gave up my friends the prom my whole childhood. Stay single and enjoy your life while you can .....get your degree in something so that if a man ever walks out of your life you will be able to take care of yourself. Don't depend on a man to support you and take care of you. Best wishes sweetie.

If anyone thinks this is okay, there is a village missing their idiot.
If your parents support this and help you, you will be on this same site in a few years complaining about your marriage and nasty divorce.
Get an education! You need to grow up before you consider marriage.

Wait until you're 18! It's more fun when you can do it all on your own, without having to depend on anybody's approval or permission. Seriously, just wait a few more years...

are you insane? why dont you try dating first!!! if its at all possible, try to think beyond yourself and your situation- why would an 18 yr old want to marry a 15 yr old? every girl dreams of getting married- but get a life first!!!

You even write like a child. No, you are not old enough to get married. Don't be foolish. It's just your hormones talking. You have no concept of what you are talking about.

What,What,What????????
15 and want to get married!
If you were a fish he'd have to throw you back.
There is a reason 15 year olds cannot legally get married.
