Answer 5

Yes. I was married by a judge, its not a-lot but it was some money. I think like $175. But my daddy knew him, so I am not sure if that was a deal. He also provided the marriage license.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Yes. Someone I know got married for $100. It just differs from place to place. Research it for your particular city or state. =)

Answer 8

A justice of the peace can charge you anything they want. But they shouldn't be unreasonable.

Answer 9

yes..here in Arizona..it's $80

And thats in Phoenix, AZ

Answer 10

yes,  I think its like $60 - i could be wrong though!

Answer 11

Yes nothing is free. If you get married by a minster you usually just have to give a donation.

Answer 12

Yes.  You still have to pay for the license and then the JOP usually charges a small fee - which will vary from JOP to JOP.

I used a JOP in Virginia who charged $50 for the service.  My license was only $30

Answer 13

of course....no free lunches in life...

the marriage license costs, so does the JP's fee (all officiates have fees of some kind) and there may be filing fees for the papers after the ceremony in order for the marriage to be registered (and it has to in order to be legal & to receive proof of a legal marriage-the marriage certificate)....the county office that issues marriage licenses can tell you that....call the town or city where you plan on getting hitched....fees vary.
