 I am a wedding officiant in Humble Texas, so I will provide information for Harris County. However, I would love to officiate for you in your county as well, and I will. Just be sure to check the marriage license details within YOUR SPECIFIC COUNTY.

There is a 72-hour waiting period between the issuance of a marriage license and the ceremony, with certain exceptions. And a marriage license expires if a ceremony isn't conducted before the 90th day after the license was issued. 

NOTE: ACTIVE DUTY IS EXEMPT FROM THE 72 HOUR WAITING PERIOD AND CAN BE MARRIED SAME DAY OF LICENSE ISSUANCE (check website for exemption requirements). 

Here is some information and the locations (in Harris County) to obtain a Marriage License:

When choosing your vendors, your officiant should be chosen carefully and early on, at least eight months before your wedding day. Not a rule, but doing so not only helps you plan for the kind of ceremony and wedding you will have, but also the kind of marriage you are both hoping to have. However, it's never too late to call me to see if your date is available. I look forward to locking in your wedding date with you today.

 A wedding begins with the ceremony and yes booking your ceremony officiant is FIRST & FOREMOST (haha). When you're done booking with me, here are a couple links to help get you get started on your wedding planning ventures for all things wedding. From your venue location to your dress and then some.

1910 Harris County Courthouse is a high demand courthouse & a beautiful elopement location, in downtown Houston (if you're not choosing my Humble location hehe). I would love to meet you there and marry you to your one true love. I also have a photographer available to join us for those amazing shots!
