Question
Me and my fiance would like to get married but he is leaving for afghanistan tomorow and i wont be home til the 17th . I was wondering how we would go about getting married while he is overseas?
There are certain states that allow a marriage by telephone (I think Montana being one) in the very specific circumstance that your fiancee is deployed in the combat zone and you are not. You could check and see if your state is one. However, the best bet would be to wait until he gets his R&R leave and you two could marry then. It would take a bit of flexibility on your part because he could only give you a rough idea of his dates, but you could marry in person.
