If you are looking to save money on your wedding or need to get married quickly due to deployment or other, you may be considering a courthouse wedding. Getting married at the courthouse is often simple and inexpensive. Courthouse weddings often only cost about $25 to $100 in fees, whereas a traditional wedding often costs over $15,000. To get married at the local courthouse:
Contact the local courts, or look online, to discover the requirements to get married.
Gather required items such as your birth certificate and state IDs. Blood tests are often no longer a state requirement.
Apply for your license and pay the fee.
Make an appointment if necessary and invite witnesses and/or guests if needed.
Show up with required IDs and get married.
