courthouse wedding

Judge-officiated marriage ceremony

A courthouse wedding is a civil marriage ceremony performed at a courthouse or government building, typically by a judge, justice of the peace, or clerk.

These ceremonies are simpler, faster, and cheaper than traditional weddings, often chosen for practical reasons or by couples who prefer minimal fuss: They skipped the big reception and had a courthouse wedding.
