Slight Roadbump with our Marriage License application...

Eloping is a ceremony. Filing the license and getting it notarized is different. I would save the legal piece for tax, health care purposes. You can have an elopement ceremony without the marriage license piece.

That’s a good point!

Truthfully I may not file mine until after the honeymoon if it affects name change because I purchased with my maiden name. Then again that may have nothing to do with that. lol

Yeah. I mean just have the officiant file the day of the October ceremony and do a symbolic ceremony no marriage license to be filed sooner. Check with the officiant but I am sure that would be ok.

View Quoted Comment I’m sure he would be fine with it 😊

Does your state require you to get the marriage license in the same county you plan to get married in? If not, you might be able to get one sooner in a different county. Also in some states there's a waiting period after your appointment but before you receive the marriage license, which can be waived by a court for a small fee. If you're able to figure out which court handles the waivers, you may be able to get them to help you with this situation. I'd also recommend calling/emailing the county office/wherever you applied for your license and explain your situation. They may be able to put you on a waiting list, so you'd be able to get an earlier appointment if someone else cancels.
