How old are the two of you? If your parents consent, you can get married at 16. If they don't, you have to wait until you're 18. I don't know about VA, but in most states getting married emancipates you.

Why are you in a hurry to marry?

You would be responsible for yourself. In VA you are legally emancipated from your parents upon marriage. Also, to elaborate on what stealth stated, the minimum age for marriage in the State of Virginia is sixteen years for both bride and groom. But if either party is under eighteen, consent to the marriage must be given by the father, mother, or legal guardian. This can be done by the parent or legal guardian in front of the person issuing the license, or by a written consent properly sworn to before a notary public. Special provisions are made in Virginia law to allow marriage for underage parties when the female is pregnant and for situations in which underage applicants have no parent or legal guardian.
