No. Obtaining a marriage license doesn't mean you're married. You must take your marriage license with you and arrange to have the ceremony performed by some person permitted in your state to perform marriages (city clerk, justice of the peace, priest, minister, judge, etc.). That person must sign the marriage license and return it to the town clerk where it was issued. If your marriage license expired before you used it to get married then you need to start all over again and apply for a new one.
