***Question to those who did legal ceremony before DW***

[beachbride08]

We plan on getting married at the courthouse prior to leaving for Mexico. We didn't want to deal with all the paperwork to have a legal wedding in Mexico.

We have a friend who is a Notary who is going to sign our legal paperwork with us a few days before we leave and she will submit it all at the courthouse for us. It's not costing us anything other than the regular marriage license fee b/c we are not having any type of ceremony before we go.

You should be able to look up legal requirements for your state....we just were legally married on Friday We had to both go to the courthouse to apply, then wait 3 days but not longer than 30

So we went to a historic courthouse and had our parents there...I will be posting about that later. Good luck!

We are actually doing our legal marriage today.

We went in last week to apply for our marriage certificate and we had to wait 3 days to get married. My FI's friend of the family is a judge and he is going to his grandma's house after work to marry us. Some friends and family that can't go to PV are going just so they are part of it. We aren't treating this day as our wedding anniversary, but we thought we should still do something nice.
