No problem!
----
Amendment IX - Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or
to the people. ----- How’s that? Do you need citations of common law or the
Uniform Commercial Code?

That doesn’t give you the right to marry. It gives the states the right to
either give or deny you the right to marry. Or to abstain from the matter
altogether and let the local county and city governments deal with it.
