Marriage-license note: Tennessee law authorizes Tennessee notaries public among the people who may solemnize marriages. A Tennessee marriage ceremony also requires a valid Tennessee marriage license. Always confirm current license procedures with the county clerk issuing your license.
After the ceremony
The marriage license is completed after the ceremony and handled according to the instructions of the Tennessee county clerk that issued it. Because county procedures may differ, couples should follow the issuing clerk’s current directions.
