In Michigan, the only thing you have to do is wait 3 days while the clerk types your marriage lincense.

As is true in many jurisdictions around the country, a marriage license is valid for 30 days from the day it is issued.  Once you have that piece of paper, you may utilize it immediately, in other words, you can be married right away.  People do this when they get a license, and then have a representative of the court officiate their ceremony.

AFTER you get married.  Life gets way too complicated if you do it before marriage.  It saves you from a lot of heart ache too.  You and your spouse will be glad you waited, then you won't have to worry about diseases, pre marital pregnancy, past lovers, etc.

I think that people will be judgmental.  I think that all couples who get married should go to pre-marital counseling.  I think that it is going to be harder for you because you both still have so much growing up to do.  I am 23 and just got married in October... I changed so much between 18 and now.  It doesn't necessarily mean that you shouldn't get married but you do have to be willing to really work at your marriage if you want it to last.

There is no definite time to get married - i was with partner for four years before we got engaged and another four years before we got married.  Bring the subject of marriage up and see how the conversation goes.  If you both decide not to get married, you should definitely make a Will each to ensure the other is taken care of should anything happen.  Not being morbid, but unfortunately people often miss out on taking care of their partner due to not being married and making their wishes clear.

there are a lot of factors involved before a couple should think about setting a date before marrying. For one very big thing talk everything and I mean EVERYTHING out before you decide on a date to marry. What you expect of him/her and what she/he expects of you. What do you expect in the marriage, what kind of marriage, open or closed, and anything else you can think of over a period of time.\n\nI think one of the biggest mistakes I made was marrying a woman two months to the day after we met. we did not know one another at all. It was a terrible marriage, one I wouldn't have my worst enemy get into. I am not saying that all fast marriages end in divorce but the chances are greater they will.\n\nMy current wife and I lived together for over six months before we married and during that time I told her what I expected and wanted and she did the same. We covered everything from where to live to sex and back again several times. we have a wonderful marriage now and we are very happy.\n\nSo how soon should you get married...there are many factors but be sure you are marrying for love and not lust. Take your time and be sure, break-ups are hard but not nearly as hard as divorce. Wait until you are both ready and satisfied with what you both agree upon and want to share in your lives together and apart.

2-3 years should do the trick because i think by that time you stop trying to impress one another and actually show the real you.I think showing the real you is far better than living in a lie and expect it to be the same happy and giddy but when you show yourself it all just isn't what the other person wanted or expected to ever see.That's why i think marriages never really work because it starts off impressing one another basically one huge lie.That's all it is at first.Its like every one is afraid to show their true colors at first but then who can blame them.So 2-3 years should do the trick.

after you get married

This is an outdated custom from before the time of instant communication.  It used to take a long time to travel to wedding and you might not have time to speak to the families and voice your objection before the actual wedding.

Make all couples go through a class of marriage before they get married, to decide their backgrounds and likes and dislikes and expectations...

no! you must learn to live with someone before you marry them. This way you will know EXACTLY what your getting yourself into yes?

Our friend before answered it right. There is a time frame involved with the actual marriage certificate and the time of a possible devorce before he/she is a U.S. citizen.

you need to take an English class before you marry.  It's important to know how to speak to a girl.
