Thats how it was handled by the Pilgrims in Plimoth/Plymouth. They believed marriage had nothing to do with religion and shouldnt be connected with a church. Marriage was strictly a legal contract. You couldn't possibly be more wrong.
The Pilgrims landed in 1620, spent the next several years figuring out how to stay alive and then passed the FIRST marriage license laws in America in 1639.

Thank you, wagglebee. I thought that had to be wrong, but I couldn’t find anything online.
