No, a marriage ceremony must have two participants and at least one ``third-person'' officiant. You can't officiate your own wedding ceremony.
Any couple can get married as long as each person is 18 or older, and currently not married. You must apply for a marriage license, also called a marriage intention. A marriage license is only good to use between 3 and 60 days in Massachusetts from the date you applied.
Anyone with a 1-day Designation — If you want a friend or family member to officiate your wedding, they can apply for a 1-day designation. They must fill out an application online or by mail from 6 months to 1 week before your wedding date. There is no residency requirement for 1-day designations.
Massachusetts does not require that witnesses be present at your ceremony. The Officiant is responsible or completing and signing the original license and returning it to the clerk of the town where the license was issued. The officiant may be a member of the clergy, justice of the peace, or a one-day solemnizer.
Both parties must sign the agreement and it must be notarized (signed by a notary). There are different ways to reach an agreement. You can negotiate on your own or hire lawyers to help you. You may also decide to use a divorce mediator to help settle the issues.
