• Both partners go to the City Clerk's office at a Town Hall with photo identification and file intentions to marry. The licensing fee varies by town but is usually around $20.00.
• Wait three days.
• Return to the City Clerk's office and pick up the license, good for 60 days.
• Bring the license to the officiant you have selected and get married!

Some couples choose to waive the three day waiting period between filing intentions and picking up the license.

In this case, couples can go to their county courthouse and file for a waiver of this waiting period. The fee for this is approximately $65 but may vary by city. We have not heard of a case where the waiver was not granted, and once you get in front of the judge, the waiver is typically issued within a few minutes. The couples would then bring the waiver back with them to the City Clerk's office and pick up the marriage license immediately.
