Getting our license today... forgot a witness

We didn't need a witness when we applied for the license. However, we did need two witnesses to sign after the ceremony before the marriage certificate was mailed in. We had a bridesmaid (DH's sister) and a groomsman (my brother) as our witnesses.

We didn't have to have a witness? If we did I guess it was the woman who worked at the court house

I don't think we need a witness for the license. But now I'm worried. Going to check state of Maine website for the zillioneth time.

We didn't even need a witness to get married, let alone just get the license.... or even an officiant.

I love Colorado.

Yeah, my boss got married in Illinois and said she didn't need one either.

In Iowa you have to have someone there to sign and answer a few questions, like verifying we're both over 18 and that we're not related. I guess they just take her word for it and don't do any checking themselves?

Athena? Jamie? Jess? Tess?

We got ours this week, but no witness was needed, so it was just the 2 of us. We were so excited, we took pics haha

We didn't need one, but In Virginia, you don't need a witness if you're over 18, i think. It varies by state.

Did you just loudly yell "Can I get a witness?"

Colorado's marriage rules for the win! @m

This is true. When we applied we brought in DH's father as our witness. He was in town during the time we went and applied. I agree, super weird. But I guess that's Iowa's law. Makes it kind of inconvenient, but oh well!

So yes, take you, FH, and a witness with! And some monies of course

I hope you loudly rapped "Can I get a witness?"

This made me double check California's website because we're going today and had not planned on taking a witness! And no we don't need one phew!

Man Iowa, get it together!

I'm honestly surprised we still don't do blood tests lol.

Lol Athena! I'm so glad you posted this--I had no idea we needed one!

We didn't need one either (in CT)--just the lady at the town clerk's office. I thought witnesses were only for the actual marriage ceremony.

In Connecticut we didn't need a witness at all, not even for the ceremony.

Rosie OMG when I saw this I literally sang in my head "CAN I GET A WITNNNEEEESSSS" haha

Date Twin 8 more days to go. I didn't need a witness to get the license.

Trisha posted, I answered I read so much online crap so that I was prepared when I walked into the court house lol. I over prepare for everything though haha.
