Is anyone else getting married in a courthouse?

I just called the Woodbury Courthouse to ask about getting married there since we're getting married on a Thursday (hopefully!). The lady on the phone was probably the dumbest person ever. That or she was deaf. I just need to know if they'll let us have our actual ceremony on our planned day! She just kept telling me to call my local municipal building and ask about their policy on getting a marriage license. Nothing she said to me was helpful and now I'm lost. Can someone help?!

I guess this is what I get for deciding to plan a wedding in 6 months :(

    You need to get a marriage license from your municipality before you can get married.  Then a judge or officiant can marry you. Is there a reason you are using a judge?  There are a lot of officiants in this area who are cheap and who will be more flexible than the court.

    We're using a judge because we're getting married on our anniversary, which is a Thursday. Neither of us are religious so we didn't want to go to a church and we're just trying to make it quick and simple!
