Not since the middle of the last (20th) century has California recognized o-called "common law" marriages.

A few states such as Texas recognize "common law marriage." California does not.

California does not have common law marriage. You would need to get a marriage license from the county clerk. You could consider a confidential marriage license which also must be done through the county clerk.
