This is a serious question. How do you go about getting married in O.C. MD if you're from out of state?

First of all, congratulations on the marriage plan.\nThere's two parts of getting married. You have to obtain a license and have a ceremony or see the justice of the peace/judge who will make your marriage official.\n\nNo, the state of Maryland does not require you to be a resident. Usually, there is no residency requirements for you to get married in a certain state. If that's the case, all the Vegas weddings would be deemed invalid.\n\nHowever, you're usually required to have a wedding in the same state, sometimes the same county or even the same city from which you get your license. \nIn order to get married in Ocean City, Maryland, you must have a Maryland marriage license. Your wedding must be performed by a party authorized by the state of Maryland. \nI've attached a page of reference. I hope this helps.\n\nAlso, you need to decide which court house you wish to obtain your license from. Do talk to a court clerk to get all the specific requirements that the city would have.\n\nI'm so happy for you. Once again, congratulations!

Well that all depends on if you want your family and friends there. Ask yourselves these questions... \n1. Can we afford to pay for our friends and family to come?\n2. Can our friends and family afford to pay to come to our wedding?\n3. Do I REALLY want to get married somewhere else?\n4. Should we just elope and have a reception for everyone when we get home?\n\nIf that is what you want than go ahead and do it. Just explain to everyone why you want to do it. You only get married once and you should have it the way you want so you always remember this special time.

Nope. I am from Ohio and a friend of mine tried to get his fiance on his insurance and was not allowed until they were married. You have to be married to be able to be inclued on your partners insurance.

Yes. The process is exactly the same once he is already in the country. Just get a license from your county clerk's office and have the ceremony.

In the past, some Counties like San Diego will deputize you for a day to perform a civil ceremony.  I don't know if they still do this, but check with the L.A. County Clerk's office.\n\nI used one of those "church by mail" things.  I sent in $5 to a P.O. Box listed in the National Enquirer.  For a year, I was a "Reverend" and I performed a friend's ceremony.  They've been married for over 11 years now and I have the videotape to prove it.

Are you marrying a US citizen? Then there should be no problem. Are you someone from another country you'll have to ask the town or city clerk. However, it probably will be allowed. Congratulations and good luck.

I think we'd need to find out what state you're looking for.  There is no universal marriage registry.

Depending on where you live, you have to file for a certificate a few days in advance.  Then you can just go to the courthouse, and they'll do it right there.  I would just call city hall, or the Justice of the Peace and find out what information you need.  Or you can just do a search, such as "Marriage license requirements" on the internet, and it'll tell you.  I'd put your state ahead of that.  I had to do a search for this for someone once before, and it will tell you if a blood test is required, and if any wait is required. In Texas, it's 36 hours, but some states have no wait.

No.  But they do have to have a wedding at the courthouse (like our justice of the peace).  Many have church weddings, but the courthouse wedding is the one that matters to the state.

Try the larger hotels who may have on-site wedding facilities.  They may be able to help you - look at their websites.

Unfortunately, you're out of luck.\n\nIn order to get married in Massachusetts, you have to be living in Massachusetts.  So strike one.\n\nSecond, the federal government doesn't recognize marriages performed in Massachusetts.  So you can move to Massachusetts,  get married, and still not be able to get your girl citizenship as your wife.  She would have to go through all the hoops as if she were single. Strike two.\n\nSorry.  Our government sucks :-(

I did. We were married on March 9th in Las Vegas. It is possible but be careful. Expose only as much of yourself as you feel like. in other word, listen to your internal voice, if it doesn't sound right, don't do it in terms of meetings, questions, etc. Be very careful and use a proven site such as match.com

You can check with your state registrar. Where I live the office is under the Dept of Commerce on the state level.

There are a couple of ways.  Some counties allow a person to be "ordanied for a day."  Basically, for one day only, they have the legal right to ordain marriages.  Go to the county marraige registar's office to find out if this can be done.\n\nOf course, the no-fail, yet very silly way is to have them ordained by the Universal Life Church, or one of the many like-minded "churchs."  It takes about an hour messing online, but one can easly be ordained by these churchs that don't really exist, but are legally recognized anyway.

You'd have to be a recognized, legally ordained minister, or apply to be a notary in MI.\n\n   If you happen to be either already, why not perform a ceremony elsewhere?\n\nRev. Steven\n\n   Why? would be a question I have.
