Wish I knew you could expedite the marriage certificate.  We got married on May 28 and are still waiting! Hoping we get it soon.I would recommend it to anyone getting married there going forward.

Krysta, can you email me the attachments you received from Keisha as well? [email protected] That would really help me out!

I am thinking about the flower in the hair. Goin to a local bridal shop usually is your bet bet for price and quality. Davids bridal has some but they aren't that realistic looking but try a more local bridal shop I've seen a bunch of nice ones.

good luck with that. That is my biggest fear with this wedding. I really hope the expedite works because I have even read bad reviews on that. I really need this certificate ASAP after we get married so I can change my visa status :S

I was married April 16th.  It took 8 weeks to get mine.  I wasn't that concerned about getting it so soon though as I knew it could take at least 6 weeks to get.   I emailed Keisha and 3 days later I had it.

When you emailed Keisha what did she say to you?  I emailed her probably a week and a half ago and she said she still hadn't received it. I was thinking of emailing her in September if we still didn't receive it.  I don't want to be annoying, but I need it to add my husband to my health coverage.

did you have to pay to have her send to you? how much to expedite? 

[Soon2BNJersey]

oops I was referring to the marriage license that keisha sends after the wedding is over? I know it depends on location just asking about everyone's personal experience.  If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't know a thing about the resort.  They should really do better with giving you details and pictures about the resort.  using the florist is nice but some prefer to bring their own decor and items.  Trying to get things like sizes and measurements was a challenge (thanks bdw).  For what the guests pay to come there, the resorty should offer more assistance with decor...not just white draping on a gazebo and flowers from the garden.  I know in a few weeks I am gonna have a blast, just wished they didn't try to charge your for every little thing!  guess they gotta make money somehow!

 

I am checkin in ladies, doing okay, but part of me wants it to be over with so I can get back to normal. LOL

She emailed someone that day and then told me that they had it.  I was able to add my husband to my health coverage without it.  I just had to submit it to work once it arrived.  Everything should be backdated though from the date of the marriage on the insurance if you go ahead and add him with your wedding date.
