It was a simple fix We went in there this morning and she just changed and luckily she didn't enter it in the system yet. She changed it and then she gave us a formal copy - all is well now!

I'm sure it can be straightened out, but I'm sure it's not something you want to worry about in the meantime. Congrats too! Nope (we were a bit late actually), and we went right upstairs and then we went into the court room. I know the original cannot be altered (at least thats what I heard), so they have to give us a new one. However we cannot provide the same witnesses, or maybe none tomorrow....so I dunno. I know its nothing to worry about, but I just wanted it to be perfect :/

Hey all....we had our civil wedding today (so we can get everything squared away at the destination)!!! We were all excited and so happy that we didn't bother to look at the license :/ Well, when we came home we read over the license they put my wife's b-day wrong. I know its not a lot, but its enough to cause issues. So now we both have to go back and get that fixed tomorrow (hopefully)... Anyone else have issues like this?

Hey all, its me once again hehehe... Anyway, I have a few ideas for a wedding gift for my soon to be wife. Please tell me what you think: Idea 1: Personalized mms (name, date and saying "I love you forever") as part of the gift with a nice vase shaped in a heart. Example: Idea 2: Personalized Ipod with a engraving on the back with our wedding date and names. Idea 3: Kind of not personalize by any means, but a gift certificate to victoria's secret with a nice card to go with it. Idea 4: Poem and picture movie (not sure it will be done by the wedding date).

Well, I just spoke to her and she doesn't want to give in to either - guess I have no choice but to go with the traditional :/

I am over the dress thing - thank goodness Thank you all!!!

It takes the fun out of the whole walk down the aisle thing. Plus, I agree with the previous post, it's girl time. I think breakfast together in the morning is a wonderful idea! You are correct and I agree with everyone so far. I just thought its was a good idea and a way to be romantic on that day. I just wish we can come to some type of compromise.

I do like to follow traditions, however I have an odd, but nice idea and I was wondering what everyone may think. Remember this is coming from a guy... Tradition: The day of the wedding the groom and the bride do not see each other until later. Idea: Stay together the whole day, and actually help each other get dressed (private time) and get ready for the big day. Idea 2: Stay with each other the whole night and then have breakfast together. Then break off to different places to get ready.

She knows cause she is that one that showed me, but I really didn't want to see it in the first place.

Good point, so even if I helped her pick it or not (I didn't - she picked it), or even pick the accessories for it (kind of, but not really)....the overall emotion of the event itself will be above and beyond anything

...however I am unsure how to proceed. I already picked out a nice decent black tux, and maybe be wearing a pink vest (since pink is the theme) with a white shirt and a bow tie. My fiancee is wearing a white dress, however I see quite a few members wearing a black suite/tux, or even a white suite. Is there a any tradition to this or its whatever you want?
