get married at the courthouse
It's interesting:"I'd like to talk about Paul's greatest achievement, which happened today, and that was keeping his suit jacket on throughout the ceremony and resisting what must have been an intense desire to turn up in shorts today. But despite the heat and discomfort, it’s been well worth the effort, for amongst other things, the wet patch down the length of his left leg can be passed off as sweat."
Most people want a nice wedding, especially if it's your first one. However, if it's your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th you might want to save time and money by going to the courthouse. Here are the steps to getting married at the courthouse.

Download the Marriage License pdf document. Marriage licenses issued after July 1, 2003 do not require a blood test. There are two sets of fees for obtaining a marriage license. One set of fees if the couple seeking the license presents a certificate of completion of a qualifying premarital education program, and another set of fees if the couple does not. If the couple has the certification, the total cost is $21.00. Without certification, the total cost is $56.00.

Tips &- Warnings
Here's a funny little side note, when I was doing research for this article, I came across an official PDF document for my county and the title was "-Schedule of Costs and Fees."- The pdf document list numerous filing fees from Discharge Petition's, Letters of Administration, Motions, Attorneys Fees, Caveats (whatever that is), etc. I scrolled down to the Cost and Fees for a Marriage License and it showed "-Cost and Fee Schedule for Marriage License and Pistol License."- The irony of the two being coupled together (excuse the pun) is hilarious. I guess they want to save you a trip!
