I talked about the frazzled mess that I was last week, but we finally had a moment of clarity, and all I can say is that the stress has melted away. From here on out, if it gets done—great. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter because our marriage is legit. That is, we have a marriage license.

Last week we headed over to San Francisco City Hall:

Isn’t it gorgeous!? No wonder so many couples get married here. While we were there, we saw four couples getting married!!

Here we are pre-marriage license. Look at our silly, excited, ‘holy shit we are really getting married’ grins. (P.S. - Can you tell that I’ve been using Crest White Strips??)

Doesn’t Mr. Peep look cute filling out the form?

And finally, here we are with our $5 Souvenir Marriage License. The real license was just a boring piece of paper, so I made Mr. Peep shell out the extra change for this baby:

So, $103 bucks later ($93 for the license, $5 convenience fee, $5 souvenir certificate), we are legit. And just so all you SF Brides know, you can only go during the week, and you actually have to make an appointment online and pre-pay for your license (that is if you want to get it from SF County). They don’t just let you show up. The good news is that all you need is your driver’s license. (Other counties may be cheaper, but some also require a copy of your birth certificate.)

What do you need to get your license? How much did it cost in your state and county?
