It is required that at least one of you are baptized and actively involved in some Christian congregation. The content of our marriage service implies active membership and has little meaning if this is not so. The 30 days are counted from the date we receive the application forms at our church office. The fee is payable to St. John s Episcopal Church and sent with your application. If permission for your wedding is not granted, we will make a full refund.
Premarital counseling is required before the ceremony.
The counseling may be done by your clergy or a professional counselor. The counselor must send a letter of confirmation, indicating the number of and short summary of sessions, at least 14 days before the ceremony. There is no waiting period by the state, and a blood test is not required. Marriage licenses may be obtained in other Wyoming counties and brought to Jackson with you. We cannot perform a wedding unless the marriage license has been presented to the officiating clergy.
