Instructions

    • 1

      Begin with the guest list. Once you make a list of family and friends, you have a good idea of how big the wedding will be.

    • 2

      Let the size of the wedding guide your choice of a suitable place for the ceremony and the reception. Although a church is a common location for a wedding, it is not the only location to get hitched.

    • 3

      Schedule the services of an authorized wedding official. Ministers, preachers and officials of the court are all examples of people able to legally perform a wedding ceremony.

    • 4

      Arrange for catering and entertainment for the reception. Also, you will want to finalize the details for flowers, decorations and clothing, as well as order wedding invitations.

    • 5

      Send wedding invitations. While waiting for the response, double-check details.

    • 6

      Apply for a marriage license. This currently costs $28, and is valid for 1 year after being issued.

    • 7

      Have the ceremony. Enjoy your honeymoon.

Tips & Warnings

  • Although neither you nor your future spouse needs to take any kind of physical examination to get a marriage license, both of you have to sign for receipt of a brochure about AIDS.

  • Children under 16 cannot be married without a court order. Children at least 16 years old can get married with parental consent.
