7. At least people in the Panhandle can get their licenses locally

Even if they have to go outside the area to find someone to perform the ceremony. I wasn't too worried about access to counseling - even in 1999 that guide mentioned online resources!

But I expect there are qualified people in the area willing to perform same sex ceremonies. For instance, in Panama City there is a very active Unitarian Church - in many parts of the country Unitarian ministers have been willing to marry same sex couples. I don't know about the current minister in PC - my MIL used to be very active there and would have known, but she has been unable to attend regularly for many years and is out of touch.

Just out of curiosity, are you in the Panhandle? I'm outside of Tallahassee, so in the Big Bend.
