Cupid's Checklist: Must-Haves for Your Oklahoma Wedding
- Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number (Except When It Is): Gotta be 18 or older to walk down the aisle without needing parental permission. Unless you're channeling your inner Romeo and Juliet, then Oklahoma ain't the place (and seriously, don't do that).
- License to Thrill (or Rather, Chill): You'll need a marriage license, which you can snag from your local county courthouse for a cool $50 (or $5 if you go through premarital counseling - gotta keep the spark alive!).
- Witness Protection Program: This ain't Vegas, baby. You gotta have two witnesses over 18 to watch you say "I do" and sign the paperwork. Just make sure they're not hungover from the pre-wedding festivities.
- Say "Howdy" to the Hitching Post: Unlike some states with quirky officiant laws, Oklahoma is pretty relaxed. A judge, ordained minister, rabbi, priest, or other religious official can do the honors. Just make sure they're legit (no phony baloney preachers here!).
Pro Tip: Feeling fancy? You can get ordained online for free with some organizations. Just remember, with great power (to marry people), comes great responsibility (to not accidentally start your own religion).
Bonus Round: Things Oklahoma Doesn't Care About (As Much)
- Blood Test Blues? Nope! Oklahoma ditches the premarital blood test requirement.
- Residency Rodeo? Don't worry about how long you've been a resident. As long as you have that license, you're good to go.
Basically, Oklahoma is like the chill friend at the wedding who just wants to see you two lovebirds happy.
