Montana will issue marriage certificates to active-duty members of the U.S. Military who are unable to physically attend a marriage ceremony. Just because you have to wait to see your loved one, doesn't mean you should have to wait to be married.
Montana marries hundreds of military men and women via double proxy marriage every year. This LEGAL marriage is recognized by all branches of the military, every state (except Iowa), and most countries. Because Montana is the only state that allows a double proxy marriage, we get many questions from prospective brides and grooms.
For example, “Do we have to be together to have a double proxy marriage”. The answer is NO. The law is such that our deployed military can marry their sweethearts so that they CAN be together. The prospective bride and groom will send in the paperwork separately and we will take care of the rest.
Armedforcesproxymarriages.com is an expert in double proxy marriages. We will expedite your application and get your Marriage License to you as quickly as possible. Our success is because we care about our clients. We are here for you with any questions and feel that serving you is an honor.
THANK YOU!
Montana performs hundreds of Double Proxy Marriages to soldiers serving our country overseas and who are unable to be with their “bride/groom to be” to get married in a traditional manner. I wonderered how long this untraditional proxy marriage has been going on.
I am not certain of the first proxy but there is a famous one. One of the most famous proxy marriages was that of Emperor Napoleon and the marriage to Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria. This was the second marriage for Napoleon and took place 11 March 1810. It is said that Napoleon gave the reason of needing an heir as the primary expectation of the union. He seemed genuinely excited as he decided to lose some weight, he learned how to dance the waltz and had pictures portraying his victories over Austria removed from his palaces. The marriage took place in Vienna. She was not actually present at the wedding.
At Armedforcesproxymarriages.com we help enlisted soldiers get married without having to travel. The process is fairly simple and requires paperwork to be completed by the bride and the groom. It is not necessary that the bride and groom be together as we join the papers as they are mailed to us. We will perform the ceremony and have the marriage license mailed out to the newly married couple. It might not be the most romantic of ideas, however, we provide a greatly needed service to the men and women unable to leave their bases overseas.
Armedforcesproxymarriages.com is proud to offer the double proxy marriage service to our military men and women. We know that this is ONLY possible because of their continued bravery and sacrifice.
Montana is the only state that allows the double proxy marriage for our enlisted soldiers. Either the bride of groom must be in the military but we can perform the ceremony and get a legal marriage license without them ever stepping foot in Montana. The double proxy marriage law allows proxies to stand in for the bride and groom.
Armedforcesproxymarriages.com is also a proud supporter of the Scott Vallely Soldier’s Memorial Fund. http://soldiersmemorialfund.org/. We give a portion of our proceeds to support soldiers and their families. We feel it is our responsibility and obligation. Thank You!
Montana is the only state that legalizes double-proxy marriage, so named because two people stand in for the bride and groom. The proxies exchange a few perfunctory “I do’s” and seal the deal without so much as a smooch.
Other than a few forms, which must be notarized, most of the paperwork can be completed online and sent by email. The process is very simple and has made wedding-by-proxy attractive to military lovebirds separated by geography or war.
With the extra money the Army will pay to a soldier now that he/she is married — an estimated $1,200 to $1,400 a month — the happy couple will be able to afford their dream wedding at some point in the future.
Armedforcesproxymarriages.com understands the importance of expediting your marriage ceremony and can complete your marriage within 10 days of receiving your completed paperwork.
In law, a proxy is a representative authorized to stand in for another person in legal matters. A double proxy marriage is one where the bride and groom are unable to physically be together for the ceremony, so they appoint a “stand-in” to take their place. Montana is the only state in the union that allows double proxy marriages, and Armed Forces Proxy Marriages is wholly located within Montana so that we can keep your costs low and service quick.
Traditionally, proxy marriages were very common. As I mentioned earlier, a proxy is a well established legal concept and used daily in corporate and contract law. Combine that with the historic difficulties in travel, and a proxy marriage was a perfect solution for European royalty and even Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
Building from that proud tradition, Montana continues to offer double proxy marriages to active duty members of the armed forces. So no matter where you are stationed, and no matter where your loved-one is living, the two of you can be legally married in a Montana civil ceremony. Contact Armed Forces Proxy Marriages today to begin the process. We are available by phone 24 hours a day and respond to email as frequently as possible.
So what are you waiting for? Just because you’re separated from your loved-one doesn’t mean you should have to wait to get married.
