There are so many details to keep in mind in planning your wedding.
The most important item on your list is to bring your Marriage License to your wedding ceremony. This legal document (that verifies you are able to legally wed) must be signed by your wedding officiant and returned by him or her to the county or town office that issued the legal document.
Once the signed Marriage License is returned the office will issue the Marriage Certificate.
This will serve as proof that you are legally married. You will be required to produce the Certificate if you plan to change your name.
Your wedding officiant can help explain the process to you. Feel free to contact me using the contact box or send me an email to yourwonderfulgaywedding@gmail.com if you have a question on finding the local office in your county that issues the marriage license.
