Question from a Bride and Groom . .
When are we legally married?
Response . .
When you say, "I do," you did. The Certificate of Marriage goes straight from the hands of the Officiant/Clergy Man or Woman to the County Clerk's Office (either by mail or dropped off). If you are having "second thoughts" about being married right after the ceremony there are no exceptions, no loopholes, and no grace period. You, the Bride and Groom, have made a verbal legal contract during the ceremony, and once the Officiant has declared you "wed" and the paperwork confirms that, you are "legally married." Problems that occur after that are between you, your spouse, and the state. The Officiant cannot "undo" what was already done (whether it was two hours ago or the previous day).
