Video- Project Block 16 Lecture.mp4

Ta-Da! We finally got here! The good ole’ Marriage License. Not only is this Project block about obtaining it {Which you really can’t do this early anyway} But also about where and when you’ll sign it on the Big Day.

Who will sign it for you? Do you want pictures of it happening? And most importantly, Who will mail it in?

Building your Worksheet

Image:

There is no specific image needed for this Project Block. But, you can select an image that best represents any styled pictures you want your photographer to snag. If you are not planning to take any pictures of this project you can leave the image blank.

Ingredients:

Here is where you should list all identification documentation needed to obtain your marriage license. Include birth certificates and social security cards {check the county website to see if anything else is needed} Check off the OBTAINED boxes when you have everything you need to walk into the courthouse. You will also want to list here any prop type items you’ll want for the pictures and the signing. If you want to sign it on a special table or use a special pen, or perhaps even a music stand, list those objects here too.

Before Wedding:

List tasks that need to be complete before the wedding day to ensure success including:

1. MARRIAGE LICENSE
   • Obtain Identification Documents
   • Choose and inform witnesses {usually a MOH and Best Man}
   • Identify who will mail it in after the wedding
   • Make an appointment to apply for it in person, together
2. MAKE APPOINTMENT
   • Remember to check the window of validation for your county and apply at the correct time, meaning not too early.
     • Some only last 45-60 days}
   • Pack your Marriage License in your Project Zero Bag

Staging Materials:

From your Ingredients list write in the specific items used for the styling factor of this Project, the table, pen, or music stand, etc. This way the person setting it up for you {Person in Charge} will know what it is supposed to look like in the pictures. There is also the Marriage Certificate, which is the pretty one. Be sure to indicate to your set up team, or whoever is helping you facilitate this Project that you want that one there for the pictures and not just the legal document, although, you may want pictures with that one too!

Wedding Day Set Up:

Where to find it
This Project Block Worksheet has a special box at the bottom for “Where to Find It” on your wedding day. This box will tell your Person in Charge exactly where it is {within your Project Zero Bag} should you forget to give it to the Officiant prior to the wedding. Will it be in your Binder? Will it be inside a duffel bag, or on top of the nightstand in the hotel room? Choose a place where it will be for easy access. This will be the SAME PLACE your facilitator will put it back after the signing, unless he/she is mailing it in for you.

• You check off when the Project is Done, Packed and Ready to Go
• You check off when this Project is loaded into a Big Day vehicle
• You assign the Person who is setting HQ up for you {if different than the Person in Charge}
• Name your Person in Charge. He or she will then take over the Worksheet and check off the remaining Wedding Day Set Up boxes as they are completed.
