Florida recognizes Quaker weddings. A cousin who is a Notary signed the license. No bridesmaids or bridgrooms, The attendees witnessed the wedding. We developed our own prearrange vows to each other. I read excerpts from the "Song of Solomon". The Notary Cousin pronounced the Wedding valid under the laws of Florida and asked the attendees to hold hands and observe a Quaker traditional quiet period. This was so much better, in our opinion than having some stranger pastor or official conduct the wedding. Hope you get some ideas from our experience.
