In the United States marriage is a civil legal status. It is controlled by civil laws. Marriage brings with it a host of legal rights and responsibilities bestowed by law. Certain parties are permitted by the state to officiate at a wedding including judges, clergy, justices of the peace, deacons and in most states any other person who requests a one-day permit such as the mother of the groom.
A couple must obtain a civil marriage license in the state where they want to be married. Without a valid marriage license there can be no legal marriage even if it is performed by clergy.
