To qualify for your marriage license you must be mentally capable of understanding what you are about to do and be at least 18 years of age (the age of consent), however many states allow for those who are 16 and 17 years of age to marry with the consent of a parent or by permission of a judge. While there are some states that allow first cousins to marry, most states forbid marriage to a close blood-relative. Those that do allow first cousin marriages often require that at least one of the parties be infertile and, therefore, unable to conceive. You cannot be drunk when you get married nor can you be married to someone else, unless that marriage was dissolved through divorce, annulment or death.
Once you have obtained your license, the ceremony must be performed by someone authorized by the state to do so, usually a judge or ordained religious leader and must be witnessed by a third party (some states require two witnesses). The official presiding over the ceremony will normally have witnesses on hand to satisfy this requirement. The ceremony may be civil or religious, depending upon your preference and both are considered to be equally valid.
