Your Marriage License:
To be married anywhere in the State of Washington, obtain your license from the WA County nearest you at least 3 days prior to your wedding day and no longer than 60 days in advance. Online go to www.wa.gov for information about your county. Click on "More How-Do-I Questions," select Marriage Licenses and click on your county. Call your local marriage license office at the phone number given to obtain directions and hours, usually for the courthouse or county administrative building. It will give you information about fees and require-ments. Often you can print out the application forms to submit in person at the county office.

Fees
The initial preparation meeting is free for you to meet me and be sure I am the minister for you. My usual fee includes gathering the information necessary to conduct the service, research into special request ceremonies, additional consultations to assure satisfaction with arrangements, creation of a Wedding Cere-mony Commemorative Booklet, writing and performing the ceremony, completion of paperwork and recording the license with a copy for you, and travel within 30 minutes for the ceremony. The ususal fee is $300 to $500 on a sliding scale and depending on what needs to be done.

A minimal civil ceremony would cost less.

Extensive travel, ferries, overnight requirements and rehearsals could cost more.
