Ah, but they do. You have to have a marriage license, even for a church wedding, so you have to pay the state for the right to marry. Of course, the license is relatively inexpensive. When my partner and I were looking into flying to CA to get married (before Prop 8), we calculated that the combined cost of license and Justice of the Peace would cost about $170. Plus, of course, the flight to CA, hotel, dress clothes (if we wanted to) and other accoutrements, like buying dinner for our witnesses. Still, I wish we'd done it, even though it has no validity in CO. It was easier in CA, because we have family there.
