Prison weddings in Missouri?

[kerlkaj77]

I am in Springfield and my fiance is in SCCC in Licking, MO. I am wanting to find an officiant for our wedding (it isn't necessary at SCCC as the Chaplain WILL do it there, but it is something that we would like) and I have no idea how to get started on finding someone in Texas County. Any ideas on where to start looking?

He has me on the guest list and such, so thats taken care of... i'm just not sure what i have to do or who i have to go through to get it done, and if there is a waiting period before you can do it officially.

he has to go to the chaplain and get an application he fills some of it out, sends it to you to fill out your part then you send it back to the required address NOT TO YOUR FIANCE' ! they will tell you the date within 90 days. you go and apply for the official license and pay for it and the chaplain can tell you the minister that is usually used. if you want any guests they have to be on his visitors list and the ring has to be plain and cost under 100.00. hope that helps!!!

I need to find out information about getting married in Missouri. He is at TCC and I need to know if it's even allowed and what the process looks like. Thanks.

I wanted to add what I've found out about Tipton Correctional Center and their current marriage process. They do allow marriages twice a year (October and April) but they are currently suspended because the Moniteau county recorder will not go in to the prison the do the part of the paperwork with the inmates to get the marriage license done. They seem to be suspended indefinitely if the recorder won't do his part, but the person I talked to at Tipton was most hopeful that they would be able to resume in October.

I know Bowling Green you have to get a Minister to marry you, they don't have anyone there in the chaplins office. I found one that lives in that area if you need his name and number. Just PM me and good lucK! SWEETY TWEETY

if he is in reception he cannot get married there and if he is a 'perm' there they will alow a wedding he has to see the chaplin if he is not a perm then depending on which facility he goes to is if you can get married a few of the diffrent facilitys recorders offices are giving them troble (tipton, western) two facilitys i know you can get married in are boonville and algoa my fiance is in boonville and we will be married on September 20th 2012 at boonville they are easy to deal with so far that i have learned chaplin is very nive and has been helpfull my advice would be to contact the chaplin!
