Marina and I are going to the Staten Island borough hall to get married. On the 22nd of September to apply for a marriage license (than there is at least a 24 hour period). Then on the 25th of September we are coming back to actually get married.

Maire...all i'm doing is the civil wedding in city hall and just getting together at a restaurant and that's it. The big wedding will be the religious one and that one will be in Peru in a year or so.

What's everyone doing for their wedding?

is there a separate rooms at the court houses for weddings?

Never seen the court house here in queens...seen the one in manhattan through pictures though...anyways, if you dont want it in a court hour you can have a licensed person to go and marry you wherever you want to get married at for a higher fee i believe, i was gonna do that but then again we said why spend alot of money when the one that really matters is the religious wedding...anyways, i got the ring and dress this weekend...well the rings are coming in sometime this or next week because our sizes were not in stock so when you get your rings and if just in case your sizes are not in stock...make sure you order them 3 weeks ahead of the wedding date.

well im super nervious cus ive never been to a wedding so I have no idea what to do..

need me to tell you as far as i know? i barely been to weddings but i have an idea of how it is...unless someone can tell us more with details how it is.

please....

ok as far as I CAN TELL... is...

you have to check out your county clerk website, they have the instructions for obtaining a marriage license that should be useful for 60 days, you cant get married within 24 hours unless you obtain a waiver for a judge. the fee isnt more than 35 for the license.

Next you gotta set the date at least make it a month after arrival and start looking for the rings asap because if they need to do a special order it'll take 2 weeks or so to get the ring done. Also, start looking for the dress, i suggest white silky or cream, sometimes it's not about the price but how good it looks on you that matters because you'll have your pictures taken right after the ceremony and you wanna look good in those picture because they'll be there for a life time. Ok, now in city hall...or the place where th marriage is performed...idk how it is in there...if you gotta make a line or you gotta reserve a spot...not sure of the fee either.... but once you are there they'll call you, tell you a little marriage lecture, you say I DO and give each other a kiss and receive the congratulations from everyone who is present...very important, make sure you have a witness or two present. After the wedding...well up to you, go celebrate at a nice restaurant or just have a family reunion at home and celebrate. I suggest to make it a friday just so you have a day off from work and also a long weekend

any more questions?

I think the first thing to do would be to call the County Clerks office....you should be able to look them up online. If they aren't the one's that handle the marriage licenses they can tell you who does. I'd ask them the cost and how/where you would go to have a civil service at. They should be able to answer all those questions for you.

Edited to add....i think this is the right county for you...

We're doing it on October 9, which is the Friday before Columbus Day weekend, so it will be a 4-day weekend for us! We're doing it at the DC Courthouse, which I believe was $40-50 or so. I wanted to get an officiant who would do it at a prettier location, but again, an extra expense for the legal ceremony didn't seem necessary. They only do weddings in the mornings and early afternoons. The latest appointment we could get for the 9th was 11:30am. They have a separate room and an officiant who performs the weddings there. You can bring 15 people in, I think. I wanted to do it as close to when he's in the country, as possible, so that we can file for AOS sooner, he can work sooner, and begin to feel settled in.

2 witnesses are necessary?

Wow....it cost 72.00 for the marriage license here...everyone else's is so much cheaper..LOL!

I have such a large family that a civil wedding wouldn't work for us because if I don't invite them all I'd be in trouble!

2 witnesses are necessary?

Ask when you call the Clerk's office...sometimes its different but usually it's at least 2 witnesses.

I think in Florida you have to wait 2 or 3 days after you apply for the license. I could be wrong, but someone here told me that. So for all of us in Florida just something to check on. I believe it's only one witness though.
