With all the planning that goes into your big day, don’t forget the little things... like getting your marriage license. It may not seem like a big thing, but your wedding won't be official without one... though people will still have fun if you have a good band and an open bar. The things you'll need to remember when getting your marriage license are a proof of your name and age with a birth certificate and a second form of ID, like your driver's license or Social Security Card. If your upcoming marriage is not your first, you will need to bring a proof of divorce, annulment, or death of your formers spouse with you when getting the license. Make sure to bring cash or check, because most license offices don't take credit card. And make sure to find out from the office if you're supposed to pick up your license or have it mailed, because different offices have different policies. If you remember these tips, you'll be able to get your marriage license without a problem... and then you can get hitched officially and legally! Because you want your wedding reception to be a celebration of something real, don't you?
