First, I am not sure there are "ramifications"-- this word generally refers to concerns or consequences that are potentially negative. There have been Jews in Georgia for more than 120 years, and Jewish weddings are recognized as legal unions, since Judaism is one of the well-known faiths that has long been practiced in the United States. That said, the results of a Jewish wedding in Georgia are these:
(1) The couple is considered married under the laws of the state of Georgia;
(2) The couple is considered married under the laws of the United States,
(3) The couple is considered married according to the law of Moses and Israel (in other words, traditionally, for the marriage to be considered a Jewish wedding, there is a signed legal marriage contract-- a Ketubah; the ceremony is conducted by a rabbi or cantor; and the two participants are Jewish, and thus willing to accept the rules and precepts of Judaism).
