What rock have I been under??

So I don't know where I have been or how I have not discovered this until today?? MA now allows out-of-state residents to get married?? I am sooo happy I could cry. My partner and I have been engaged for over a year now and we have a 2 yr old son together and have been planning to get married. Cali legalized it forus but we now live in GA (we are from NY) and Cali is such a long way from home for our friends and family...but MA..ugh it is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from NY. I was so thrilled I immediately called my fiance to let her know. I wish we could fly there tomorrow and just make it legal!! However, it a little pricy to fly there and hotel and blase blah. I read there is a 3-day waiting period to receive your license?? Is that always the case, even with non-residents? Anybody who has been married there it would be great to hear some info/feedback. Only because we are planning a trip there..we would have to stay for at least 4 days?? or is there a way around the waiting period?? Oh my gosh I'm so thrilled.
