I almost forgot! The Alabama Senate passed a bill that eliminates marriage licenses. (So they say) I was excited when I first read the headline. All it really does is eliminate the requirement of a ceremony to solemnize the marriage. The cost would be the same that it now costs to buy a marriage license.
So.......not much changed freedom wise. It just takes the discretion away from probate judges and allows you submit an affidavit for marriage.
