text: can you legally get married in the state of colorado without applying for a marriage licence? my fiancee and i are going on vacation to denver in two weeks and were hoping to get married while we are there but im not sure if we can without a marriage licence can anyone help? i am from colorado and we had to have a license, but it only took about an hour. i'm not sure if you can get one with an out of state driver's license though. maybe you could try calling the department of motor vehicles out there and see if you need to bring anything with you so you can be prepared ahead of time. good luck and congrats!!
