What are you wearing to courthouse for marriage license?

@Calderon did you read the comments or...?

Then just wear regular clothes!

You know I can be very blunt but I don't understand all the negative comments, honestly. The woman asked a question that was a little murky; I was wondering if she was getting married at the courthouse. She's not.

No I didn't read any of the comments

So maybe read them now.

The license is just saying you can get married, like a drivers license says you can drive. You don't need to dress up.

I'm wearing whatever I wore to work that day since I will be going directly from work

I'd say before you go, call them and make sure if you're picking it up after a waiting period that only one of you has to go. In NJ, you both go with a witness to apply, but only one person goes to get it, and some clerks will let someone else pick it up for you.

Susana, do not apologize for your question. It was very valid and has even helped me some.

I'm saving those photos @La Grosera

I would totally want to be cute picking up my license. Everything I do for my wedding seems to be a special event in my eyes though lol glad you got some clarity OP

Susana don't apologize. Thank you for posting this question . I hadn't put in much thought about how that process works. So this got me thinking and everyone had great advise and tips.

@Celia you just reminded me, and I think I gave incorrect info on another thread. Shit. I totally forgot that we didn't take our application home that day, but DH went and picked it up. Now to figure out where I gave someone wrong info...

Also, my comment must have gotten flagged. Boo

OP thanks for your question I am in NYC I learned things I didn't know. Thanks Melissa you help me.

If you're getting married AT the courthouse, you both go in casual clothes and apply for your licence. Here in FLA you then wait 3 days. Then after the 3 days you go back dressed in whatever you want for the courthouse to perform your civil ceremony and sign your license. You can dress up or you can dress business casual or all the way casual. If you're having a wedding elsewhere, in FLA you apply in casual clothes for your license, wait the 3 days, and then pick the license up in casual clothes. Then you produce the license to your wedding officiant after the ceremony to sign. Then you sign, your hubby signs, your witnesses sign, and whoever else signs like a notary, and then you have a certain time frame after the ceremony to returned the signed document back to the court to be recorded.
