Getting
Married
The marriage license application fee is $50 ($25
for application fee and $25 for the license) and
there is an 8 day waiting period, which can be
waived depending on circumstances. Marriages performed
before a court judge can cost $200. Court marriages
are performed on weekdays by appointment. Religious
ceremonies are also available, but must be arranged
directly with church officials. If either party
has been divorced, a certified copy of the divorce
decree must be presented. If you are requesting
a marriage license through the mail, without the
help of a local wedding consulting company, then
you will have to pick up the license yourself
on arrival. This can only be done of regular business
days.
