My friend and her girlfriend would like some advice on how to go about getting married. One lives in TX and the other RI. They will prob end up living in TX. I think MA would be the closest for them to get married in (the TX one can come to RI and they can both go to MA to do it). How do they go about doing this? Once they are married in a state that they do not live in, does their state have to acknowledge the marriage? I heard that not all states do. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

They have to live in the state that acknowledges it. So basically they would have to live in Mass. Canada it is legal too.
But my understanding is and im not sure if im right u have to live there a year before u can get married.

SSM that take place in MA are only recognized in MA. Same goes with Canada and other countries that preform SSMs. I have heard that some couples have gone as far as to buy property in MA to claim residency as you can only be a resident of MA to get married. I'm sure there are some really good websites that could give some more info....

If they get married out side the state and move back if the marriage was legal, they are married.
