I learn something new
In the back of my head, I knew there MUST exist some sort of legal something that showed the boy & i were legitimate.
I assumed it was something the priest/officiant came with & you sign, and there is some sort of notarised something and then maybe a certificate.
But I also knew that at some point, I needed to go by the courthouse for getting some forms.
It was only after I read this, that I went - ooooh....that's what I need to do.
dawning of enlightenment and all!
So, I called the courthouse and it turns out the boy & I have to mossy down to the courthouse at an appropriate time (3 day waiting/valid for 60 days) with our identity paraphernalia & fork out some cash and get a...marriage license,
which I didn't quite know what to do with.
The kind lady at the courthouse informed me I hang on to it till our wedding day, the officiant marries us, he/she signs it, sends it in, and then ta-da! we get a marriage certificate in the mail.
Sweeeet.
In other news, the redhead has sent me the first draft of what the inside of our fabulous invitation looks like and sigh...I can not believe it is all coming together. She produced such prettiness out of all the varied inspiration boards/ideas/junk I sent her.
She's brilliaaannnnt.

hehe we were a bit lucky in that our priest was also authorised to sign the cerificate and so we didnt need a separate court marriage :)
but i always wondered whether ur marriage date would still be the ceremony date or the day u sign the certificate....
uhmm...we are not having a separate court marriage. Apparently this is something called a marriage license that by law you have to get to marry here.
And usually your officiant/priest should be authorized to sign it.
u r right. N and I had a hindu wedding first and then went to the county court house got a marriage license and a justice of peace married us again.
glad to know your wedding stuff is becoming real! Hope you'll post a photograph when it's done.
