💍 How to Get Hitched in the Palmetto State

✨ Step 1: Get Your Marriage License
• 📍 Head to your county’s Probate Court (apply anywhere—it’s valid statewide!) or check online.
• 💸 Fees range from $30 to $100—shop around if you’re on a budget!
• 🕒 Reminder: There’s a mandatory 24-hour waiting period after applying.
• 📄 Bring: Your ID, birth certificate (if required), and know your Social Security Number.

✨ Step 2: Plan Your Perfect Ceremony
• 💍 Find an officiant who fits your vibe! If it’s not me - and I hope it is!- other options include ministers, rabbis, notaries, or even a friend ordained online.
• 📱 Check local wedding groups or Google for help finding someone experienced.
• 👀 Fun Fact: No witnesses are required—just you two and your officiant!

✨ Step 3: Seal the Deal
• 📝 Your officiant will guide you through signing your marriage license post-ceremony and return it to the Probate Court.
• 📑 Need certified copies for name changes or insurance? Check if your county sends one automatically. If not, request extras from the court or SC’s Department of Health.

Other Quick Facts:
• 🏠 You don’t need to be a South Carolina resident to marry here.
• 🌈 Same-sex marriage is 100% legal at the federal level—even if SC has outdated laws still on its books. 💖
