You need to call the courthouse in whatever county you are wanting to get married in. Not all of them have JOP.  I know Tulsa County does not, but some of the surrounding counties do.  Just call their Marriage License counter & they can give you all the details.

Cleveland County does NOT have a Justice of the Peace, and they do not schedule appointments with Judges to conduct civil ceremonies.  They are definitely not very marriage friendly :(

You may check into hiring an officiant to do a ceremony for you.  I've seen them for around $50-100.  But, you should check with the court house when you pick up your license to make sure they are registered with the state to make it legal!

I noticed you are in Florida. Are you getting married in Oklahoma?

I heard that Canadian County has a JOP and you can actually make an appointment with them so you don't have to wait.  My friend got married there last year.
