How do you go about getting married in an Oklahoma Courthouse?

My fiance and I have been engaged since Feb. 8th 2008 and have known each other for a little over seven years now. We have been wanting to get married but can't afford to have a wedding at this time so we have decided to get married in the courthouse. The only problem is that we do not know what county in Oklahoma that still does courthouse weddings, what number to call or what site and have looked all over. Please help.How do you go about getting married in an Oklahoma Courthouse?

Click on Oklahoma at the site above. The site may not be updated, but phone numbers for the courthouses are at the bottom of the state's page. You call the courthouse, and you ask them any questions. While you've got them on the phone, you set up a date/time for your wedding.
