Justice of the Peace Weddings/Civil Weddings

New Mexico Flag

Ah, New Mexico! Such a wonderful and charming state, when it pertains to wedding events we are a little different. In lots of places you go to the county court house get your license, ask to see a Judge or Justice of the Peace and Voila you are wed! But, not here.

While Judges and other authorities can marry you, they do not. Well let me correct that, they do not really wish to. In most counties in New Mexico the Judges are busy, so scheduling time to do wedding events is not a real priority. Exactly what will take place is the clerks will provide to put you on a waiting list, generally 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is readily available you can have an in chambers wedding. Notice the if available? Nearly anything can cause a hold-up, we had one couple who waited the 8 weeks, just to be informed the Judge was away on business and could they come back in a week?

So what are folks to do? If you are from out of town you can not really wait, and if you are from town do you actually wish to wait? We a have a much better idea. For civil type of ceremonies we provide 3 alternatives.
