You go to the town or city clerk and apply for a civil union license. You show the necessary identification, answer any questions, fill out a form and pay the applicable fee. You take the civil union license to an authorized officiant and hold a ceremony of whatever kind you please. The officiant signs the marriage license and returns it to the clerk who registers the civil union and issues a certificate of civil union.
