Instead of guessing, go directly to the links I have listed. The Vital Records
link gives complete information on all vital records for NY.

Vital Records Information - NY
http://www.inlink.com/~nomi/vitalrec/ny.html

This link allows you to print the application:
Application for Marriage Records
http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/doris/html/marriage.html

I had absolutely no problem by mailing a personal check with the online
application that can be printed at home on your computer printer. I received
the marriage records within one month.

Hope this helps anyone trying to find marriage records for NYC. The Vital
Records link also has information for marriage, death and divorce records.
