No. The return of the license signed by the official who performed the ceremony creates the record and proof the marriage took place and was legal. If the license is never returned then you have no proof the marriage was performed unless you can produce the signed original to the proper authorities.

Is your marriage legal if you never got your marriage license?

The marriage license in itself does not certify that a legal union has taken place. The marriage certificate signed by the person who is authorized to perform marriages is proof of a legal marriage. A copy of the marriage certificate is given to the couple after the marriage ceremony, then the marriage license/cerificate is (or should be) filed by the person who performed the wedding with the state's vital statistics bureau. Confirmation of legal marriages are filed with the state bureau of vital statistics and in copies should be available from the city or county where the marriage occurred. If the city or county cannot find the document the interested party should contact the bureau of vital statistics at the state capital. The absence of the document does not necessarily mean the marriage is not legally valid, although it may create some difficulty when engaging in certain transactions such as Social Security benefits.
