If you
plan to come to The White Rose Chapel for your wedding ceremony — or to
be married at another location in Colorado by the Ministers of The White
Rose — these are the things that are of concern to us:
-
Get your
Marriage License in Colorado — in any county's Clerk & Recorder Office
— within 30 days of the ceremony. If you are traveling to
Colorado from another state, travel plans must take into account that
their office hours are Monday through Friday only.
-
While
you are applying for your License at the County office, please
carefully check the spelling of your names and the accuracy of the
other information on the License. Making corrections later can
be a hassle, especially if you do not live near the office from which
your License was obtained.
-
At a
minimum, have your Marriage License in your possession when you come
to the ceremony. If you live in the Colorado Springs area,
please be sure to bring the Marriage License to the Chapel ahead of
time.
-
Because
witnesses are not required in Colorado, we encourage couples to have
those who are dear to them — including children — to sign as
witnesses. The signatures of your family and special friends on
your Marriage Certificate (after it is recorded and returned to you)
will mean a lot to you over the years.
For all
other information about the Colorado Marriage License, please contact
the office of the County Clerk & Recorder in the county of Colorado
where you plan to obtain your License.
The office in El Paso
County, Colorado, is the one nearest to The White Rose Chapel.
They can be contacted at (719) 520-6200, or consult their website at:
