Does anyone know how quickly my fiance and I can get married. She's in the air force and will be done with her job training on jan 31. We want to get married before she must report to her new base. But we don't know how long she'll be able to come home for. It may be just for a day. We already have the marriage license. Is it possible to get married in a day without any notice to anyone? So we need to get married as soon and as quickly as possible.
thanks a lot. I hope I'm clear on my question.

    I think it depends on the laws of the state you plan on getting married in. Some states have a waiting period.

    First go-round I was married in Vegas, no waiting period that I can recall.

    Second marriage, we had something like 72 hours before we could get hitched.

    didn't your other post say she was just 19?

    That is [size=+2]WAY [/size] too young to get married.

    Don't do it yet..................seriously.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    I got married in the Valley of Fire in Nevada, and there was no waiting period. We picked up the license and got married the same day. Some states require blood tests, some a waiting period.. you can google, your states requirements.

    The prenups that say you keep what you started with and split 50/50 earned during may be a good idea if you're gonna have a quickie.

    Does this have anything to do with the pregnancy test? ;)

    You got married in Nevada??? :)

    That is way cool. Although I think I'd go the whole hog and wander into Vegas and have the elvis impersonator too! :D Something about it tickles me. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Paul and I did too. I just never wanted a big wedding, so decided to go to Vegas. It was very fun, just my parents and his. Had an awesome time. Of course we had a big party a month later. Receptions are fun, weddings aren't so much, at least to me. :) What is funny is later we found out that one of my friends got married at the same place and another friend that I hadn't talked to in a while had just moved there the same weekend. :)

    I did, and I spent the week in Vegas partying hardcore!

    It was the most awesome week of my life. LOVED it!

    We tried to keep the elvis out of the wedding, but they did have an Elvis DVD playing in the limo on the way home, I was like.. NOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Though I want to have a simple wedding with family and friends, I think getting married in Vegas would be so much fun!

    dude you're 20 years old. don't do it. whats the harm in waiting?
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.

    Excellent! :)

    That's pretty much my idea of a wedding. Either beach at sunset, park, somewhere pretty, or vegas, just me and him and the immediate folk and then slap up party with everyone after. Of course if I had mega bucks I'd just fly everyone up to Queensland or Maui or Tahiti or something and we could make a holiday of it. :) But the actual wedding itself I've always considered my business and therefore intimate. If I want a big production I just go play theatre. :D
    NOPE!!!

    No good the elvis??? :( Man I love Elvey that would be such a blast I reckon! :)

    It's weird how it appeals to me really, because I'm the person least likely to have any interest in Vegas at all and yet somehow the idea of marrying there really appeals to me. :)

    Sounds like yours was very cool! :)
    NOPE!!!

    you are way, way, way too young to get married. given that you have unprotected sex several times and worry about pregnancy when you're just starting out in life, it also seems that you're both pretty irresponsible, even for your age.

    but to answer your question, I assume you would have to make an appointment in advance.

    Yes we are young, but the unprotected sex was planned before hand. And no, the pregnancy is not why we are deciding on marriage.
