200 Weddings A Day / Many Illegal/Invalid??

[Christine]

I am merging the two threads, no need for two of the same thread out there.

Everyone is saying to make sure everything is going to be legal before you go. What should I do to ensure this?...

[Debs]

OH, thanks Christine, I did a quick search and didn't find anything

[Christine]

no problem Deb, it happens to us all. I have done it many times before.

wow!! At 1st I was a little upset about having a symbolic ceremony, now I am so thankful!! This is so sad for those people that got scammed and for the many more who will fall victim to it.

I am not sure how it works in Canada ... but in the US, we are having a Notary Public legal wed us a few days before we go. (do a search for "symbolic" ceremonies). I would think it's similar for you -- just find out the easiest way to get legally married (courthouse judge, etc). We are doing ours w/o a ceremony, just paper signing, so we can save the ceremony portion for our DW.
