Thinking about tying the knot on the Fourth of July? You’re not alone. Independence Day is one of the most popular—and meaningful—summer dates for couples looking to start a new chapter. It’s a day of celebration, family, and fireworks, making it a perfect backdrop for a patriotic and love-filled wedding.
At GetMarried.Today, we offer same-day marriage services every day of the year—including holidays like July 4th. That means we can get you legally married anywhere in Orange County or Los Angeles County, even when courthouses are closed.
Yes, You Can Get Married on July 4th
