How To Get Married Without Getting Married in Idaho

Let's start this off by saying... sure, you can get married - or you can get married. I know what you're thinking: "It's the same meaning you idiot."

While yes, you're technically right but a lot of people think "getting married" means having a full-on wedding ceremony complete with the church bells, family members, the hours of picture taking throughout the day, etc. You know the drill. But then, there's simply just... getting married. I'm not talking about the courthouse either...

So, what the hell are you talking about?

I've got three words for you: common law marriage. I know, according to Idaho legislation, it's not legal in Idaho after 1996. But don't worry, we have a solution for you that could still be cheaper than going through the whole process of having a wedding in Idaho. If you're thinking of getting married complete with a ceremony, get ready to pay for all that comes with it. Shoot, getting married is so expensive that a Nampa woman recently offered a FREE wedding venue for the highly-coveted Taylor Swift tickets that crashed TicketMaster.

What's the solution? How do I "get married without getting married in Idaho"?

So, here's what you do. You let the love of your life know that you'd like to take a little road trip and get hitched. Sure, you may have to set up shop in the states for a bit but the drive has to be cheaper than planning a wedding in Idaho of all places... right?

Let's take a look at where you can take a road trip to get hitched before returning to Idaho. See? "Getting married without getting married in Idaho"!

The best part? Idaho law says that if you get married in another state, you can come back to Idaho and as long as you have proof of marriage... you're now legally married in Idaho.

Congratulations! You just got married without getting married in Idaho.
