                                                                                         Wedding Ceremony Requirements

Nevada, perhaps more than any other state in the country, is not one to judge or dictate the unique aesthetic requirements of couples who decide to wed within its borders. The state only requires that the ceremony include at least one adult witness aside from the minister, and that each member of the couple declare – in the presence of either the judge, notary, or minister – that they formally take each other as spouses, and that the officiant then pronounces them married.

Marriage By Proxy Allowed:  No

Minister Required to be Present:  Yes

 Min. Age of Couple:  Age 18 or Age 17 with Guardian and Court Approval

Residency:  Not Required.  Can be from any state or country

Min. Distance of Kin Allowed:  Second Cousins

Marriage Equality:  Yes, in legal terms. 

Vows required:  Any chosen by couple

The state of Nevada will only legally recognize the marriage of two persons, regardless of gender, who are at least 18 years old, no closer in blood than second cousins and who do not have a living spouse already.
