Q: Will you marry couples of different faiths or previously divorced?
A: Yes. Marriage is a divine institution ordained by God for all men and women. I require that you love each other and have a desire to be married. I will not refuse any couple (a man and a woman) the right to be married, regardless of one's past, race, color, religion, or denominational background. I do not encourage divorce, but I do understand things do and can happen in marriages. I count it as a joy to help couples move from their past into a new beginning, that marriage can offer. I believe our God is the God of many chances.
Q: How do we get our marriage license?
A: Contact the County Clerk of any Texas county. Texas marriage
licenses are valid in all Texas counties, regardless of the county where
the license was issued.

A: No pre-wedding counseling is required.
Q: Are you available to perform ceremonies at other times and locations?
A: Yes. We perform ceremonies any time and anywhere. Check
our online
calendar for availalbility and send us a note on our
Contact page giving us your
ceremony details and we will respond back confirming availability and
pricing.
Q: Do you perform proxy wedding ceremonies?
A: Yes. Active-duty military personnel and incarcerated prisoners
often seek marriage by proxy. Before applying for your marriage
license, you will need to obtain an ABSENT APPLICATION form from the
County Clerk, take it to that person, have them fill it out and have it
notarized. Click on the following links for the instructions and the
form.
Q: Who files the marriage license after the ceremony?
A: That is your choice. We are happy to take care of it for you at
no extra cost to you or you can return it it to the County Clerk's
office after we complete the ceremony. Note that the Harris County
Clerk's office takes 4 - 8 weeks to process marriage licenses, so if you
need immediate proof of marriage, then you should return the license
yourself to the County Clerk and request a certified copy of your
marriage license.
Q: What is required for a legal name change after we are married?
A: The easiest and most time-saving way is to order a name change
service
from the Miss Now Mrs. website. You will save over 13 hours of
name change stress! Click on the banner below for details and to order
