Best Answer

The only way to get married without having a wedding is to be common law married. However, common law marriage is difficult to achieve and only recognized in a few remaining states. You'd have to research your state's law on common law marriage.

You can, however, have a very simple justice of the peace wedding at your local courthouse. Contact the courthouse to find out when and how to sign up for a wedding ceremony. Typically, you can appear and get married in under 10 minutes for the cost of a marriage license (usually around $50). No traditional wedding to-do needed.
