Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone here might be able to help us. My fiancée is an active-duty Marine, and because of military housing rules, we need to be legally married before the end of the year so she can move off base and live with me. She will be in Santa Cruz this Friday and Saturday for Thanksgiving weekend, and these are the only two days we have to make this happen before she has to return to base.
We’re not looking for anything big—just a quick, simple legal ceremony or someone who can issue a marriage license and officiate so it becomes official. We will cover any fees or costs. This is extremely time-sensitive and really important to both of us.
If anyone knows an officiant, a notary who is authorized to issue a confidential marriage license, a chapel, or any service that is available on Friday or Saturday, we would sincerely appreciate the help.
Thank you so much to anyone who responds.
