Answer #1

You get married by an officiator or a judge (Justice of the Peace). Anyone who has an officiator license can conduct a marriage ceremony.

I got married in a court room by a judge with no religious references.

next year we plan on having a “wedding celebration” for our families.

Answer #4

You can contact a judge to marry you. It’s non-religious, but you’ll be legally married. My parents were married by a judge, in a beautiful gazebo. It wasn’t religious, but it was still very pretty and meaningful.

Answer #5

I’m not sure where you are from as your location is not showing, but in the uk, if you don’t want a religious ceremony you get married at a registery office. If any one reads this from the USA, can they comment on something similar.

Answer #6

You can contact a judge to marry you. It’s non-religious, but you’ll be legally married. My parents were married by a judge, in a beautiful gazebo. It wasn’t religious, but it was still very pretty and meaningful.
