Ah New Mexcio! Such a terrific and enchanting state, when it comes to weddings we are a little different. In many 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 officials can marry you, they do not. Well let me fix that, they do not really wish to. In many counties in New Mexico the Judges are busy, so scheduling time to do wedding events is not a real top priority. Exactly what will occur is the clerks will offer to put you on a waiting list, usually 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is readily available you can have an in chambers wedding event. Notice the if readily available? Nearly anything can cause a hold-up, we had one couple who waited the 8 weeks, only to be informed the Judge was away on business and could they return in a week?

So exactly what are folks to do? If you are from out of town you can not actually wait, and if you are from town do you truly wish to wait? We a have a better idea. For civil type of events we offer three options.
