Cupid's Checklist: What You'll Need
- Your main squeeze (alive and well, preferably): They're kind of a key ingredient in this whole marriage thing.
- Proof of you being you (and not a secret government agent): A valid driver's license, state ID, passport, or certified birth certificate (plus a photo ID) will suffice. Basically, anything that screams "Yes, this real person is getting married!"
- Social Security numbers: Don't worry, they're not for evil here, just for official record-keeping.
- Knowledge of your birthday (and your partner's, unless it's a surprise wedding): Seems obvious, but hey, sometimes love can make you forget basic details (like where you parked the car).
- A cool $50: The fee for your official "permission to party" (otherwise known as a marriage license).
Pro Tip: Feeling fancy? Premarital counseling can knock off a whopping $45 from your license fee. Not only will it potentially save you future arguments about who leaves the toilet seat up, but it'll also put some extra cash in your honeymoon pocket.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
The Location of Love: Where to Get Your License
Head over to the Tulsa County Court Clerk's Office – lovebirds can choose between the main courthouse or their Broken Arrow satellite office. They're open weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, so plan your lunch break accordingly.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
Word to the Wise: Don't try to show up fashionably late in your wedding attire. Jeans and a t-shirt are perfectly acceptable (though ditch the pajamas, please).
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
