There is no residency requirement in GA. except under certain circumstances, depending on whether the couple resides in GA or out of state. Out of state couples must apply in the county where the wedding will take place.
• In NC: Both parties must consent to take each other "freely and seriously" and this must be done in the presence of two adult witnesses. This declaration of consent must precede the minister or magistrate declaring that the couple is now
some combination of husband and wife, as agreed upon by the couple.

Couples who can show that they
completed a premarital preparation course will have the waiting period waived. Fees vary by county

Q: How far in advance should we book you?
A: I recommend 3-6 mos. in advance, especially between the months of April and October. Short-term bookings are accepted outside of these dates.

Q: Should we invite you to the reception?
A:It really isn’t necessary. The officiant rarely stays for the reception, and leaves once the marriage license is taken care of.

​

Q:How long will you hold our date?
A: I will hold the date for 5 days after the initial communication. This gives us time to meet and have a discussion, as well as allow you time to think about it and make a decision with which you are comfortable.
