Marriage license

Crissy949 · July 2012

I was sitting here doing wedding stuff when i realized that there is only 48 days until our wedding day which means here in MA we can go get our marriage license!!

FI and I decided we'd go Tuesday as there valid for 60days!! This is making it all the more real!!

Im soo excited!

Have any of you guys gotten yours yet? If not are you planning on doing it soon or waiting until closer to the wedding date?

In Wisconsin, the license is only valid for 30 days, so we are waiting until early August.

In Minnesota they are valid for 6 months. We got ours a couple weeks ago.

In PA it is good for 60 days also. I got mine on Tuesday. It definitiely made it real.

We are going in two weeks because in NJ its valid only for 30 days

We are getting ours on July 21st before we leave for a weekend trip to WI. Ours are valid for 60 days, but the courthouse hours are only when FI and I are at work. So we have to take a day or afternoon off to go get it.

We're a destination wedding, so we'll be getting it that week (which makes me nervous...)

We have 3 months in RI so we got ours when we were both on vacation from work just under 2 weeks ago. It does make it so real.

NH is good for 90 days. We are getting ours this week. :

ditto PP - NJ is 30 days so we've got to wait...

gymbugmj2k · July 2012

i thought NY was 30 days, buuuuut turns out we're 60 days! guess i should get on that soon...

TN is also 30 days. We'll apply online Friday and hopefully pick it up next week sometime!

Love that there is another MA bride! So as you know ours is good for 60 days, FI and I have no idea when we are going to get it, probably closer to the end of the month. i don't want to get it and lose it.

Where are the NJ brides getting the 30 day rule? State website shows valid for 6 months.

20 day limit in South Dakota. Waiting until the beginning of August!

smilesavy · July 2012

We are out of state from where we are getting married...so we are getting it the Monday before our wedding...talk about stressful!

DeClue82 · July 2012

Lobster... same here.. why isn't there just a universal one for the US??? seems kinda silly. We have to wait for the Thursday before bc FI won't be in town... and we'll both need to be there to fill it out... grrr

kthowell · July 2012

Nj is only 30 days

<div>Lobster, Im pretty sure ive noticed that your getting married on the cape as well...heres an FYI Sandwich is the cheapest town at $25 and there is a 3 day waiting period after you apply which can be waived if you go in front of a judge. If you come up a week before your wedding you should have no worrys! Good luck!</div>

Any time we can get a moment, we plan on getting ours! Unfortunately, the office hours and my FI's work hours are totally the same. We've done the online paperwork- twice now....- it's only valid for three weeks and so far he hasn't been able to get a non-holiday weekday off within the sixty day period, trying to save up vacation days for the wedding.
