Anyone know the answer or know where to find out this information? Thanks so much!

I looked online and all I could find was this statement: Licensed or ordained ministers, clergymen, or pastors of recognized religious societies, and justices of the peace. So I take that to mean yes as the answer to your question. But it may vary by the county in which the ceremony will take place.

I would suggest googling marriage license in x county, find out the phone number for whatever office in the county issues marriage licenses, and call them to ask.

Unless things have changed in the last couple of years, it should still be legal.
