My lady and I after 7 years have decided to get married in TV this winter. We are snow birds and would like just a small non-denominational venue. Is there a city hall or anybody have other recommendations?

Marriage Records | Sumter County Clerk of Courts

A marriage license can be obtained at the courthouse in Bushnell (352-569-6810 - Option 2) or the North Sumter Annex on CR 466, The Villages (352-689-4625).

The Clerk of the Circuit Court can perform the marriage ceremony for a statutory fee of $30.00. Please call one of the above numbers to schedule the ceremony.

Note that there is a three day waiting period in Florida unless you take a four hour class from an approved provider in which case you can be married the same day you apply for the license.

I had to re-read your comment, as at first I thought you were talking about taking a class for a driver’s license, not a marriage license.

What does the four hour class cover, just out of curiosity?

LOL, Gracie, I agree with you. I know you were just trying to give helpful advice. You are right about marriages in later life but not all of them are risky. I married late, knew my hubby for 17 years prior to marriage. We only got married after we knew that in life and in death we would always be together.

Safe Ship in Colony Plaza will marry people. I know, a little unusual.

Might want to take a look at the Grand Oaks resort, they have a nice gazebo and do large and small ceremony"s

Sounds like a good idea to explore hiring a justice of the peace for a ceremony in your back yard. Another idea would be to contact one of the regional recreation centers and ask if you could use one of their outdoor facilities. There is a very nice outdoor area at the end of the Lake Miona Rec Center that looks across at the Pelican Executive course. Just and idea to consider?? Good luck and best wishes : )

I believe it covers basic anatomy, child care, yard work, cooking, cleaning, domestic book-keeping, real estate contract law, and Florida spouse abuse law.

That said, how about Sunset Point on Lake Sumter at Sunset? Or dawn, for that matter.

There is a little wedding chapel in Eustis, “The chapel of Love”. It is so special and quaint, We got married there 2 years ago... Theresa and Chris are wonderful!

Find a friend who is a notary and have them officiate. Have a huge party at your house or “social distance” in your yard. (Had to say that or the virus police would jump in)
