No, the couple gets a marriage license and is either married by a Justice of the Peace or married by a Minister (or whatever religious denomination they are) in a church. A couple can have a simple chapel wedding to a large wedding.
the Answer is NO.. first you go to pick up marriage paperwork from city hall or court house. when you got that marriage paperwork you have to attend the marriage Class to complete it. then the pastor will help you to setup an wedding once you got marry the pastor will sign the paper then you take to where you got paper from then they will give you an real marriage paper then your done. I hope this help.If you are getting married in a church; chapel or Justice of the Peace then you need a marriage license. Otherwise you can live together and it is called a 'common-law marriage' but no marriage license is needed.
The only way to get married without having a wedding is to be common law married. However, common law marriage is difficult to achieve and only recognized in a few remaining states. You'd have to research your state's law on common law marriage. You can, however, have a very simple justice of the peace wedding at your local courthouse. Contact the courthouse to find out when and how to sign up for a wedding ceremony. Typically, you can appear and get married in under 10 minutes for the cost of a marriage license (usually around $50). No traditional wedding to-do needed.

Legally No. But I wanted to marry a man but not legally, i had a wedding ceremony and reception what i didn't have was a marriage license and a priest or justice of the peace or judge. Marriage in the religious sense is a commitment between you and your partner not a legal document. In some states such as Kansas what I did was considered Common Law Marriage. I also didn't have to pay a fortune for a divorce when it didn't work out.
Each State has its own procedures for issuing marriage licenses and whether it offers Court performed wedding ceremonies. Generally you apply for a marriage license in the County where you live. When you contact the Marriage License Office, you can ask whether it provides wedding ceremony services. The cost of a license, the waiting period, requirements and how to arrange a court wedding ceremony will depend on your specific County.
