hum exactly not really....first you would need to know in which state you want to get married and then google "marriage license" in the state you want to get married in.. each states have different laws ...Once we figured what were the requirements, we got in touch with the city hall of the town we were getting married in and pretty much asked them what needed to be done...I remember visiting the gov of massachussets web site, but there were also a bunch of other places where these info were posted.
some state for example will ask for blood/medical test, others require translated certified birth certificates, sometime you maybe be required to go to the town hall some days before the actually wedding, in some states to get the license you will need to have testimonies with you and so no...In some places you can get the license 2 months befor ein other 3 months before
We also looked into getting married in Rhode Island for example they required that we had translated and certified birth certificat, but in Masachussets they don't. In Rhode Island you can get married the same day the license is issued, but in Massachussets, there is a 3 day waiting period...
Once you figure it out, you'll see it's really easy... there are differences from state to state but they usually are not important
good luck
Thanks once again for this infom saralune. I will follow what you suggested.
