I live in louisiana that is where we want to marry or a nearby State, in an old chapel just us and our witnesses. I want to know where there is such a place to do this that is just plain and simple..We will be traveling on a bike. So we will be wanting to take off and sleep somewhere not too far. I need some ideas. When i look up elope I get all the things I do not want to do. Just plain and simple in a small old Chapel wedding. Can someone please help me with this.

There are a few in AR people have recommended to me as I have thought about where I would like to get married. Not sure if you want to come to Arkansas though lol.

Marriage was traditionally a religious ceremony, a bond between a man and woman under the "eyes of god". It was most often done for merging two kingdoms or families for wealth, land and property gains, etc. As would be performed in a theocracy where the church is the law, the marriage would be legal as today's legal marriage. So, a marriage technically cannot occur for one that doesn't believe in a god. A legal marriage, or the better term legal union, is all about the law, and has nothing to do with religion. Either way it is none of the government's business and the legal marriage should not exist. In the USA government can have no influence over religion, period. Therefore if your church is willing to marry two men, or two women, or three, or a man and his goat, etc., the law has no control over it. If a couple elects to commit to each other that's fine. But it certainly shouldn't be a legal binding contract. And should not require a license. You want tax breaks? Incorporate. "Hey we've got a good thing going honey, let's get lawyers and judges involved in our relationship." To each their own. I think it would be fun, get married by Elvis at a drive through.
