1/18 Anybody know the exact procedure of getting married in CA? I'm
not sure how a marriage license, blood test, marriage certificate
and all that stuff is tied together. This is a civil marriage, BTW.
\_ You don't need to get a blood test. Just go down to the
county courthouse, with ID and about $80, and get the
license. The license is good for something like 60 or 90
days. I don't know how to schedule a civil ceremony.
\_ You need to see if you can be put on the schedule for the
county ceremony. Check up with the County Clerk. The one
in SF is done underneath the dome in SF City Hall, which
is better than a windowless room in the basement.
\_ "Civil marriage"? What other kinds of marriages are there? Thx.
\_ Uncivil marriages, of course.
\_ Church marriage ceremonies. You still need the "civil
marriage" part, which generally consists of doing all the paper-
work, but when people refer to civil marriages, they mostly
mean having a judge/notary/non-priest-type person perform
the ceremony. -John
\_ Same sex marriage?
\_ Not in this theocracy.
\_ Thank God.
\_ Thank God. (God is always there. You may think you have
gotten rid of Him, but that is just an
illusion) |
