   Yeah, I was trying to see if I could head start it, and without a signed marriage license/certified copy, you can't change your passport, DL (at least where I am), with the bank, etc. etc. etc. (everyone needs something that documents your name change, without the marriage certificate you'd have to send them a court order)…

   I'm going back to school full time for a Master's Degree in Social Work, so I have to fill out my FAFSA before the wedding. I'll having to fix that later, I guess. Yaaaayyy, financial aid and student loans.
