I'm going to try not to go off on our officiant but I called the county today and they have not even received our marriage license so it has not even gone into processing!!! If she still has it I want it back from her and will turn it in myself! My work only gives us a 31 day time frame to add a spouse to benefits which only gives me 10 days past the open enrollment period we are in right now. DH has like 60 days for his but still! And his work is cracking down so his work REQUIRES the marriage certificate to add me. I'll try to find out about mine cause we just want dental under mine and everything else under his. Dental is so cheap so we want to have that under both of us for double coverage.

What makes me so mad is I tipped her because I did not want to be rude for not tipping but when we met with her and she gave us all this paperwork on how to do a rehearsal, ceremony ideas, etc there was an envelope labeled "officiant gratuity" in there! cont...

    Wow we have 5 days in MD or at least where the venue is (B'more County). Mine mailed it right after the ceremony because she was nervous about the time frame. Please stay on her...thats not cool...

    Hmm I checked out the county website and cannot find anything about how soon you have to turn in the license after being married. Only that the license is good for 90 days and your certificate should be available 2 weeks AFTER the county has received it. And so far they are telling me they have NOT received it >:-p And I still have not heard from the officiant. Going to e-mail when I get home since I'm off soon.

    I should ask DH's work "Hey do you accept copies of wedding videos?" lol Seriously how much more proof do you need? Hopefully he can find out by tomorrow if they will accept an unofficial copy so we can enroll for benefits and make sure it goes through etc. I e-mailed my HR too and hopefully will get a reply by tomorrow. And our officiant had better get back to us! We didn't pay her $215 plus tip for nothing! Very decent price but I expect the job to be completed for that price. Otherwise we could have just paid $100 to get married at the courthouse, $50 for the license and $50 to get married. :-p
