    We are expecting 90 guest other than bridal party (assuming hurricane doesn't keep people away) so we have a few witnesses. The people signing our license are the MOH and Best Man.

    My two brothers are standing up for me and FHs sister and one of his oldest friends is standing up for him. My dad is officiating and my kids are walking me down the aisle.

    Do you mean who signed the marriage license? His parents.

    Who was our bridal party? My two best friends. His brother and his best friend.

    Who came to our wedding? Very close friends and family.

    No one besides the officiant and us because that isn't a thing in my state. But the MOH and Best Man will be signing the english portion of our Ketubah.

    I believe there are 2 signatures. So we will have my sister and his brother sign. If it ends up that there is only one signature needed I am going to ask that my sister signs it instead of his brother because his sister is our officiant so that way we will still each have a sibling sign the license.

    We didn't have a wedding party but asked my brother and H's sister to sign our license. After we asked them to sign and I found out that legally we didn't need witnesses (live in MN, married in CO) but it was nice to include them and have those pictures.

    Some states require witnesses to sign the marriage license for it to be valid. KY requires two people other than the bride, groom, or pastor to sign it saying they witnessed the vows/ceremony.

    Our MOH and BM signed the marriage license. We actually signed it after the rehearsal the day before the wedding and the officiant signed it the day of so we didn't have to worry about that after the ceremony.

    I think I'd like my mother and my uncle (who is doing all the reading for our ceremony, our "officiant") to sign it.

    No witnesses in MA. In fact, the only one to sign our marriage license on wedding day was the officiant herself

    In PA, witnesses signing isn’t a thing, only the officiant signs. We probably would have had MOH and BM sign if we were in a state that does that.

    My mom and his brother are signing ours, since we aren't having a BP. But he still calls his brother BM.
