Yep, I said our wedding license, not our marriage license, but there’s a reason. See, I told Mr. Fro Yo that we needed to figure out a time he and I could both leave work to get our marriage license (and I used those words). Finally, we decided that Good Friday was the day to go. I had to work, but Mr. Fro Yo was off, so it was the best time. We got there, and there was only one person in front of us. We grabbed our number and waited to be called.
After we were asked if we were related, delinquent on child support, currently married to someone else, or divorced within the last 30 days, we had our marriage license in hand. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. As we were walking out, I thought we should take a picture to commemorate this moment. Luckily, I had my camera with me. Mr. Fro Yo went up to a police officer standing nearby and asked if he would take our photo because we just go our “wedding license”.
I laughed, and the policeman did not seem to notice my giggling or Mr. Fro Yo’s wording. He happily took our picture.
So here we are with our “wedding/marriage license” in hand:
I’m so excited, and I can’t believe how soon our wedding will be here!
How close to your wedding did you obtain your marriage license?
Too cute. It’s soon! Can’t wait to see your beautiful wedding pictures and recaps when the time comes.
It took us 3 tries to get our marriage license. We went once and then found out they changed the laws about what we needed from our church. We went a second time after the church gave us the new documents. However, they didn’t write our middle names on the documents and the license office needed our full names on the document. So we had to go back a third time with the corrected papers. What should have been an easy task turned out to be super hard. Such is wedding planning!
Wow, this makes it seem so real! It’s almost time! You look gorgeous in that picture!
In Maryland, they’re valid for 6 months, so we got ours at the 5 month mark. 
We got ours on Good Friday too and took the requisite picture….came out kind of blurry, but oh well!
You two are so cute! congrats.. just a couple weeks till you sign it!
@amariem25: Oh no!! Glad it finally worked out the third time!
@KtobeC: Yeah that was the only one we took, so I was hopeful that we would like it.
@TexicanMexican: Thanks!! Next time we hang out, I’ll be a married lady!
Congratulations!!!
You are now licensed to have a wedding : )
We got ours 9 days before the wedding. It was a bit closer than I was comfortable with but it worked out!
Congrats! I hope you celebrated getting the license?
In Oklahoma the earliest you can get your marriage license is 10 days before the wedding. I’m jealous of the states where you can get it way in advance and not wait til the last minute!
We got ours on Good Friday also. My FH is so cute about it. He asked the clerk if that meant we were married and then he kept looking at it in amazement.

Mrs. Frozen Yogurt, Dallas Age and Occupation: 28, Special Projects Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Equity Trader Engagement Date: March 19, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: Marie Gabrielle, Dallas About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, and have lived in several of the cities across the state, but I currently reside in Austin. I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.
