Obtaining a Same-Sex Wedding License in California
You have several options when coming to California to get married. Not all county offices that issue licenses can marry you on the spot. Some offices do not conduct marriages so you need to find out in advance before you go to the recorder office.
Your best bet is to use a Notary Public that is authorized to issue the Los Angeles County Marriage License. We are able to issue the license and marry you on the spot.
You will need to provide a valid photo ID when you file for the license. If you have gotten a divorce within the last two years, you will also need official proof of that. California does not require a health check or blood test.

Same Sex couples should get married before November
To date we have married almost 100 same sex couples since June 17th. Couples have come from all over the US to get married in California since the ban was lifted. Get married now before voters have a chance to change the constitution here in California.
The Los Angeles County recorders office has told us that all marriages performed before November will remain legal and can not be overturned. But if voters change the constitution in November then no more licenses will be issued to same sex couples.
So anyone married between June 17th and November will have legal marriages recognized by the State of California as legal and binding. New York State currently recognizes California Same Sex marriages. So if you wait you may miss your chance to be legally married here in California.
We will continue to update our blog with news as we get it from the recorders office.

Warning for Couples coming to California to get married
Sunday June 22 we received a desperate call from a Texas couple here for a wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel. It seems the "Internet Minster" they hired did not show for their wedding.
This scam seems to be directed at Gay and Lesbian couples coming here for destination weddings.
The person claimed to be able to issue the Los Angeles County Marriage license and assured the couple they would be there for the wedding that evening. Lucky for them Rev. David Nixon was available and he drove to Beverly Hills to marry this couple.
There are many people out there that claim to be ministers and able to issue the LA County Marriage License. If you are not sure you can always call the LA County Recorders office in Norwalk and confirm the identity of the person before you hire them. This couple sure wished they had done that before flying here and finding out they had been scammed.

Los Angeles County offices are expecting large crowds
The LA County offices are expecting large crowds and a crush of media.
If you would like to have a private ceremony devoid of all the crowds and media give us a call.
Cherished Vows will be ready to meet the increased demand for Civil & Religious marriage ceremonies and license applications on June 16, when the recent state Supreme Court ruling overturning a same-sex marriage ban will take effect.
The county offices only perform civil ceremonies and if you would like a religious ceremony you will need to use a chapel like Cherished Vows in Torrance.
