I am getting married at the courthouse and I am unsure what to wear can someone please help me!! :confused:

Sorry, can't tell your gender by the name, but basically whatever you would be comfortable wearing. Many people will dress in something casual but nice... women a simple dress, skirt, or suit... men nice trousers and dress shirt or an actual suit.
There is no dress code perse, so if you are a jeans sort of person, that would be OK too.
As an example... I wore a pink skirt suit that I could wear again later... my husband wore a suit.

Many wear jeans, street clothes, I see a few suits

It takes about 2 min and you are normally just in the judes office, a few do it in the court room.

In our county, there may be 4 or 5 couples in line to get married.

Honestly, wear whatever makes you happy. If someone is there to take pictures, wear what you want to share with others. If it is just you and your spouse... no one cares but you.

Have you seen Sex and the City the movie? Wear what YOU want the wear... dress it up and make it your own. Court House or cathedral it's still YOUR DAY!

Congrats!

Hey I just got married at the court house I wore Jeans a button down dress shirt and a blazer/jacket. My wife wore jeans heels and a fancy blouse/shirt. And Fr Chuck is correct of course it took about 5 minutes.

Yes, I have several types of service I do for weddings, one the complete catholci mass of course, but I have a short form, that even includes a bible reading, I can do that wedding in under 10 minutes. I have done one in as little as 3 but that was on a ride at six flags ( not doing that again)

But at least locally for the judge it is like an assembly line, there may be 4 to 10 couples there to be married at a certain time.
