A bit naive, but someone explain to me?

photokitty is it common to do blood tests for marriage? I don't know where to look for Illinois marriage requirements...or how often they change. My brothers got married years ago (they are 10 years older than me), so apparently things have changed a bit I guess. 

Not anymore.  A few states still require it but most do not.  Just google "Illinois marriage license requirements" and you should find what you need.

Schatzi13 I see that Dupage only needs proof of identity and 24 hour window. Phew. A lot easier than I thought it was going to be!

We had to sign papers 3 days before the wedding as well. The license was only good for 30 days and we had to have it at least 3 days before the wedding. 

Is there a reason why it's 3 days before the wedding? I keep seeing that number on here. 

Some states have a waiting period from the time you get the license till you have the wedding.  There was not a waiting period in our state.  We could have walked straight from the clerk's office into a ceremony.  

Same here. I think there's a 3-day period for Alabama if you live in another state and are marrying here, but I'm not entirely sure.
