IMPORTANT: It is the couple’s responsibility to obtain their marriage license by the date of their wedding on Monday, February 14. Plan ahead and perform research. Here is the license application process for Harris County and (FAQs). You will have to apply for your marriage license more than 3 days (or 72 hours) before your wedding ceremony. This is a mandatory requirement in Texas for your marriage to be legally valid. If your spouse is in the military, the 72-hour waiting period is waived. They will need to show active military ID when the Harris County marriage license is purchased.

The wedding will occur rain or shine. Last year, our express weddings were performed on the day when the Arctic Freeze blew into Houston…all were happily married! Read more HERE.
