Andrew Campbell almost passed up the chance to be married for free on Feb. 12 in Atlanta. He saw a flier advertising free weddings, posted at the Fulton County Courthouse where he and his fiancé, Alejandro Arriaga Ariza, went to pick up their marriage license the week before. He thought the free wedding performed by Judge Kenya M. Johnson would be a mass ceremony, a week later. Mr. Campbell, 53, and Mr. Ariza, 40, met through a dating site in January 2019. Mr. Ariza lived in his native Colombia, where he works as a photography professor at Salazar and Herrera University Institution in Medellin.
