When one thinks of Texas, thoughts of ranches, rodeos, and cowboys are not far behind. These elements, however, can be incorporated for a fun bohemian-chic wedding in a barn or even on a working farm. The great state of Texas requires a 72-hour waiting period from when a license is issued and when the ceremony takes place. A judge can help waive the waiting period upon special request or if you are in the military. While spring and early fall are popular months to get married in Texas, you could help bring down costs with a winter wedding, when most vendors lower their rates. Depending on where you choose to get married in Texas, print out an itinerary of fun attractions that your guests can visit such as The Woodlands Waterway in Woodlands and the beaches of Galveston.
