Questions
Frequently asked
The things couples ask us most often, answered plainly.

Booking us
Anywhere. We are ordained through American Marriage Ministries and licensed to officiate in any state in the country. Within 60 miles of Fort Worth there is no travel charge, which covers Dallas, Arlington, Denton, Weatherford, and everywhere between. Further out, including other states, we quote the travel before you book and refund you in full if it does not suit.
Whenever suits you. Signings, courthouse-style ceremonies and mobile officiation can often happen this week; booking inside a month carries a short-notice fee, which a promo code waives. Bigger days usually book three to nine months ahead. Ask us about your date before assuming it is gone.
A deposit holds it. Until the deposit lands the date stays open to other couples. The deposit comes off your total and the balance is due on or before the day.
You can move once at no cost if you tell us more than 30 days ahead and we have the new date free. On cancellations, 60% comes back if you tell us 5 or more days before your day; inside 5 days the deposit stays, because the date was held for you and turned away from others.
Card through Stripe. You get a receipt for every payment and the balance is never a surprise.
Licenses and the law
Yes. You need a valid Texas marriage license before the ceremony. Any county clerk in Texas issues one and it is valid anywhere in the state.
Texas normally makes couples wait 72 hours between the license being issued and the ceremony. Completing the Twogether in Texas course waives that wait entirely.
Most states do not. The ones that currently require at least one witness on the license are Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Texas does not. Tell us where you are marrying and we will confirm it, and we can bring two either way.
We do. We return the signed license to the county so your record is complete without you chasing it.
The course
It is an eight hour premarital course approved by the state. Finishing it waives the 72 hour waiting period and takes $60 off the license fee. In most counties that covers almost the whole cost.
No. It is optional. Most couples take it because it pays for itself and removes the wait, but you can book any package without it.
Vannah Isbell-Hughes, MA, NCC, LCDC, CSAT, RYT200. She heads Trinity Holistic Healing, and the course is powered by Trinity. She is a registered provider with the state, which is what makes the certificate count.
Twelve months. Apply for your license inside that window and the benefits apply.
The ceremony
Yes. Every package above the express signing includes a script written for you. You can be as involved in that as you want to be.
Yes, or a secular one. Tell us what you want and we write to that.
Yes, gladly.
We plan a backup with you before the day. For outdoor ceremonies we always agree a second option in advance so nobody is deciding on the morning.
Photography and film
Galleries are delivered within four to six weeks. Highlight films take a little longer. You get a private gallery link you can share with family.
You have full personal use of every image and film we deliver. We keep the copyright, which lets us store and deliver them, but we will always ask before showing any of it publicly.
Yes. Tell us the date and what coverage you want and we will quote it.
Most of what people ask comes down to what it costs and how soon we can be there. Both are on the services page.
