check everything twice!

Finally married...had an awesome day and will post reviews once I am home from honeymoon but just to share our experience of Marriage Licence Bureau. ..we went to collect certificate and paperwork after filling in pre applic online..all went well..they checked our id..no queues..all good..we then dropped all paperwork off with wedding coordinator. ..all good.. or so we thought. ..about 2 hours AFTER we were married we noticed that the groom's names were back to front..first name and last name switched....I totally freaked out..which was not so much fun on day of wedding! Basically someone had messed up and switched names despite checking ID....so the day after the wedding we had to go back to the bureau where they had us fill in more forms and assured us that it will all be sorted out....we are from UK and still on honeymoon so I am hoping we go home to a new and correct wedding certificate...just wanted to share and say check everything as I am currently Mrs-Husbands-first-name!!! Can find it quite amusing now....kinda....but along with our flight being cancelled and hotel being on fire (will post all about this later!) it did mean that we have had some pretty stressful times in the last few weeks!

    And I know it was our fault too for not triple checking everything once it was in our hands!

    We went to the Bureau Thurs a day before our wedding around lunch time and it was 1 hr and 45 min wait. We had completed the online preapplication as well. We arrived in Vegas on Tues and had slept maybe 4 hrs per night. I would recommend mornings. Happy you have it all corrected now!
