Then with license in hand you have to have a clergy, Justice of the Peace, Judge or some other person with the power vested by the state, actually do the deed.

The Justice, Judge, clergy, etc. are part of the paperwork. Don't they sign the license?

No, they issue the Certificate of Marriage that makes you eligible for the bennies. I don't know if they keep the license on file or send it back to the County.
