Questions and answers
Where do we get a marriage license?
Last updated: November 12, 2026
“It is your job to get your marriage license, and it is my job to complete it and mail it.” Get the license from the County Clerk of the county where you will be married; their website lists the requirements. Usually you can get it up to 60 days before the wedding and no later than one day before. Dr. McFadden prefers to collect it at the rehearsal, and he sends you a scanned copy before he mails it.
Check your date
Is Dr. McFadden free on your date?
The form is the fastest way to find out. He replies within 24 hours to check your date and set up a time to meet, in person, by phone or by video. The sooner you ask, the better.
