You can get your licence either in advance from any courthouse in Florida (but needs to be sent back to the same one after the ceremony) in person or get it by Mail in advance , as you are in the U.K. you have the additional costs of getting it verified by a U.K. solicitor. It all seemed a bit of a palaver even with our wedding planner submitting the licence so in the end we just went and got it ourselves a few days before the wedding. Just needed passports and swear we were free to marry , they didn’t want to see divorce docs (just as well as neither of us had any idea where ours were) , took longer to get through the airport style security at the Courthouse than getting the licence.
I actually really enjoyed going to get it ourselves, made it more real !
