No. A priest will not marry you in any state without a marriage license.

Clarification

A priest cannot marry a couple unless they have a valid marriage license from the state where they plan to be married. Marriage is a civil legal status in the United States of America. The couple must obtain a civil marriage license and clergy. along with many major and minor political officials, as well as any individual who applies for a permit in many states (for example- the mother of the groom).
