Best Answer

You need a valid marriage license and you need someone who can officiate as you take your vows or solemnize your marriage.

You can inquire at your town or city clerk's office to find out who can perform the marriage. The types of people who are permitted to perform marriages are clergy, judges, justices of the peace, ship's captains, and many states allow one day permits for anyone to perform the marriage such as the father of the bride or mother of the groom. You must have the civil marriage license for the marriage to be legally binding.
