does the navy have anyone available to enlisted officers who can officiate marriages?
My step-son and his fiance' are trying to get married this month so that she can move out to Groton, CT with him. She is pregnant and they are trying to get housing and need to get married quick for this to happen. We don't know anyone personally who can marry them but I heard that they could possibly go to the base in San Diego (we live in Southern CA) and have someone marry them. Does anyone know if this is is true? We are planning a small and simple wedding at her parent's house when he has a few days leave and she wants to fly back with him and try to get housing ASAP. I'm pretty sure noone from the Navy is going to come to her house to marry them there, but they could go somewhere the next day and take care of the technical paperwork for getting married. If they're going to do that, I guess they could just go to city hall, though.
This is all confusing and we have little to no resources for finding out how the Navy does these things. Any advice or help is GREATLY appreciated.

Marriage is a civilian matter. Normally if someone has a Military Chaplin marry them, it is required they meet many times for counseling they don't just do "quick" marriages in those cases people normally go to the justice of the piece.
Below are a few websites that you can look at about marriage license and the base chapel.

City Hall is their best bet unless they know someone who can do ceremonies privately. You can find a JP who will go to their home if you start searching on line now. I have a friend in SD who does ceremonies, but primarily non-traditional.
