Pennsylvania Has A 3-Day Waiting Period

We might not see any Pennsylvania marriages until the end of the week, presuming that a stay isn't ordered by a higher court before then.

You can apply for a marriage license immediately. In Pennsylvania, the first step to getting married is for the couple to show up in person at a Register of Wills/Orphans Court in any county to submit a marriage license application. Under Pennsylvania law, there is a three-day waiting period after the application is submitted before the Register of Wills can issue a marriage license. The three-day waiting period includes weekends, so couples who apply on a Thursday or Friday will receive a marriage license on Monday. Marriage licenses can be mailed or picked up in person. You can ask a judge to grant you a waiver if there are exceptional circumstances that make it urgent for you to get married right away. The Registers of Wills who issue marriage licenses cannot waive the waiting period on his or her own; only a court can do this.

The ACLU notes that Pennsylvania has 30 days to file an appeal of today's ruling.
