White Sand Weddings

Beach Weddings in Florida can be easy, fast, fun and yes, LOW COST. They can also be just as casual or formal as you want them. I have seen biker weddings, sailor weddings, have-to-be-back-at-work weddings, and very formal weddings on the beach. Many of them have taken place while on lunch hour, on vacation, and even on the spur of the moment after dumping the formal plan in favor of something simple and easy and stress free!
Wow, a stress free wedding!

The rules for getting married in Florida are fairly simple and do-able. It is amazing how quickly you can get it all set up and accomplished if you only have a week in Florida and really wanted to get married here in paradise and have a honeymoon too. So what are the rules, anyway?

Here is what you need to know:

Residency Requirement:
You do not have to be a resident of Florida.

ID Requirement:
Florida requires that you have picture ID such as a driver’s license and your Social Security card or a valid passport number or I-94 card. You may be asked for a certified copy of your birth certificate.

Previous Marriages:
If you have been previously married, the date of your divorce or date of your spouse’s death must be supplied. If the divorce or spouse’s death occurred within the past 30 days, a certified copy of the divorce decree or death certificate is required.

Waiting Period:
There is no waiting period for Florida residents who have both completed a state sanctioned marriage preparation course within the last 12 months. There is a three-day waiting period for Florida residents who have not taken the course.

Fees:
Marriage license-$93.50. Many locales do accept credit cards now, but be sure to check with the local county clerk to make sure.
Officiate for Ceremony-We charge $100 paid in advance.

Couples who have completed a state-sanctioned marriage preparation course within the past 12 months are entitled to a discount on marriage license fee.

Other Tests:
None.
