Weddings are special and romantic. Marriage Licenses are legal documents that have to be granted and registered within a limited number of days. Each jurisdiction is different, please check the your jurisdiction for specific details.
Your recognized legal marriage is a major concern. Couples should consider contingency planning if the following happens.
In recent news, the Holiday Season of 2022, snow storms and extreme winter weather delayed and canceled several flights. Some couples did not get to their wedding destination and were stuck in other cities.
The destination country may have political upheaval and causes the government to not recognize foreign treaties with the United States. This effects marriage licenses being ratified and accepted in the United States.
The marriage license could expire before the wedding happens and the marriage license is returned to be accepted and registered in the jurisdiction. Always consider how far from home you are and if this precious document will make it back to your local jurisdiction on time.
Consider if your closest friend or family member will witness your wedding. Sometimes if you want a close friend of family member to witness and be a part of your intimate wedding and they cannot travel to your wedding, this could be a good option.
Your wedding is important. Your marriage license is a legal document. Consider a small intimate wedding before your larger destination wedding. It's practical, economical and will make the larger ceremony care free and easier to enjoy.
