You apply for a marriage license. You take the license to a registered officiant and have a ceremony of your choice. The officiant returns the license to the clerk who then issues a certificate of marriage. You take your partner home and live together presumably forever in a loving, committed relationship. In this respect, a same-sex marriage is exactly the same as a heterosexual marriage.

You have to get married in the same state in which you obtained your marriage license. But you can apply for an Arizona marriage license if that is the state in which you have decided to get married. Just because you got a marriage license in one state doesn't mean you can't change your mind and apply to get married in a different state.

Yes, you can obtain your marriage license and have your ceremony on the same day in Georgia. You should schedule your ceremony first and apply for your license earlier in the day. Both of you need to appear together at the county probate court. If one of you is a resident of Georgia, the license can be issued in any county. If not, the license must be issued in the county in which your ceremony will take place. Good luck!
