Before you can say "I Do!" there are a few things you should check out, such as what are the requirements of governmental entities before you can be legally joined in marriage, such as age requirements, documentation needed to get married, who can marry you, requirements such as pre-marital counseling, as well as where to apply for a license and where it will need to be filed and by whom after the ceremony takes place.  Here are a few links to help answer those questions.  If you're living or getting married elsewhere and would like to know where to find the related information, shoot me a message and I'll be happy to point you in the right direction!
