What do I need to be able to get married in a court house

Where in Virginia are you wanting to get married?

I was just reading Alexandria's website and it says that they do not have anyone at the Clerks office who preforms weddings. They do have a list of people who preform civil marriage ceremonies (http://alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/clerkofcourt/individual_marriage_ceremony.pdf). I do not know If other locations are the same.

This is from the Arlington website and gives the requirements for a marriage license in Virginia. It may help answer some of your questions http://www.arlingtonva.us/Departments/ClerkofCircuitCourt/CivilCourt/page64980.aspx

You will probably need to contact the place where you are wanting to marry and get the information from them.

Congratulations and good luck.
