CoPilot Weddings

Congrats Cindy and Galen!

There is a wedding for every taste. For some, that means a traditional wedding. For others, the efficiency of a license signing with an officiant fits their lifestyle and needs to "make it official".

I had the honor of helping Cindy and Galen make their marriage official through video call this morning.

Denton County permits marriages to be conducted through video conferencing. The couple goes to their local county clerk and obtains a marriage certificate. A marriage certificate in Texas is valid for a wedding in any county in Texas. They then mail the certificate to me in Denton County.

After the 3 day waiting period (usually by the time the license has made it's way to me--I recommend tracking!), we set a time and date to officiate on video call. Both parties must be present. We cannot do a wedding with an absentee party!

Afterwards, I scan the document before mailing back to the couple or to their county clerk.

It's okay if it's not your vision for you. But for many couples, the simplicity of online officiation fits their needs and budgets. There may be a fear over elopements, license signings, and online officiations, but you are "just as married".
