Hi Florence!

Hoping to clear up some confusion...

My fiancé and I are from Florence, and have been planning to get married in the mountains in NC this Oct. I was looking on Florence County's website for info on when to apply for our marriage license when I saw where it says, "The ceremony must take place in SC, but not necessarily in the county where the license was issued".

If we have a ceremony in NC, do we need to wait to sign the documents with our officiant in SC for it to be legal?

Our NC venue is paid in full and nonrefundable, so we don't want to lose it.

If it comes down to it, we'll simply have an intimate ceremony here if needed but I'm just trying to figure out our plan.
