You both must be there to obtain the license. Each must bring either your driver’s license or a current passport and $50 ($30 for the license and $20 for a certified copy to automatically be sent to you after you are married). You will need to provide the name and phone number of the person performing the ceremony for you. Marie Tyler Wiley;860-941-9519.

YOU MUST BRING PHOTO IDENTIFICATION WITH YOU TO THE CEREMONY. I will sign the license after the ceremony and return it to the town clerk where it was issued.
My goal with respect to your ceremony is to be much more than that of just
a “wedding officiant”. I hope that all of my ceremonies will bring a spiritual quality that reflects the beliefs and values of the persons for whom I am celebrating this incredibly significant moment in their lives.
A wedding union is one of life's most precious events that deserves the utmost respect and is to be cherished by all and with our whole hearts.
I will always give of myself in spirit and of my heart and that’s why my ceremonies will always be meaningful and distinctive for everyone who witnesses them. It really is a true honor for me to be asked to be a part a couple's most special day.

On a field of azure blue is an ornamental white shield with three grapevines, each bearing three bunches of purple grapes. The states motto "He who Transplanted Sustains Us"is displayed on a white ribbon.
The vines stand for the first settlements of English people who began to move from Massachusetts in the 1630's. These settlements were thought of as grapevines that had been transplanted.
