Marriage License Signing

So, you want . . .  No ceremony? No guests? . . . No problem!

Sometimes love is about getting straight down to making your marriage legal. If you and your partner have decided to skip a formal ceremony and just want to be married, I can help you with this. All you need is a location and your marriage license from Missouri or Illinois.

A marriage license signing ceremony is an alternative to being married in the courthouse (and more convenient too!). If you have obtained your marriage license, reach out to me and we can schedule a time in which to get together somewhere convenient (like a coffee shop, cupcake shop, restaurant or park, or your home) to legalize your union. The whole thing will last as long as it takes for me to fill out the paperwork. 


Marriage License Signing: This option has very specific guidelines and is ONLY available within a 10-30 days notice. You might need two people (18 or older) to sign as witnesses - check with me or the Recorder of Deeds Office. This is a 30-45 second ceremony, the legal part only. I start with why we are here today and then I will ask each of you, “Do you take NAME to be your lawful wife/husband/spouse to love and to cherish from this day forth?” You each answer “I do” (if you have rings, you may give them to each other at that point), then “Congratulations! I now pronounce you married!”, you kiss and we sign. Yes, it really is that simple! 

We must chat over the phone to confirm. (314-669-4933)

Pop Up Wedding

How to plan a pop up wedding? Planning a pop up wedding or elopement is like a choose-your-own-adventure game. You can include some wedding traditions that you are really excited about, but there is no obligation to keep any traditions at all if you don’t want to. Finding your location is the most fun part of planning a pop up wedding. Think about places where you and your partner feel awesome together, where you love to go, a building that you fell in love with or it may be offbeat. Local parks are always beautiful and usually pretty quiet, but you can also go to places like museums or breweries — you may have to ask first! Tell them the details of your wedding (i.e. we’ll be having six guests, no music, and a 5-minute ceremony) so that they don’t think you’re trying to throw a 200-person cocktail party at their place, and see what happens. Most people are friendly and love weddings, so it can be really fun to have your wedding at your favorite coffee shop or brewery.
