Ok, with all this state shutdown talk, FI & I were all ready to go & get our marriage license before July. That is until I realized we didn't have the letter from our church, stating that we took our marriage classes! Ugh...
I called the church to get the letter only to find out, that all of our priests are down at some conference in Rochester. One may be back tomorrow, otherwise all of them aren't back until Friday! We need the letter signed by a priest & of course our church lady didn't have any on hand, that we could use!
That little piece of paper will save us a decent amount of moolah, so now we're in a pickle...
Do we wait until tomorrow, see if we get a call that the letter is signed & ready & if not, just bite the bullet & go spend the extra money to get the licence without it?
OR
Do we wait it out until the end of the week when we know the priests will be back, get the signed letter & go in next Monday to get the licence?
My only concern with waiting is that next Friday is July 1st & there's the whole 5 day wait period on the license. I just don't want us trying to save some money, bite us in the ass & then we have no marriage license!
I'm hoping the state shutdown won't be long, if it happens at all, but I don't want to take the risk of not getting our license & being totally screwed!
Thoughts?? What would you do in this situation? TIA ladies! = )
Edit - Oh & the reason for needing to go those particular days is because of FI's work schedule!
