Nah---you don't need them NOW. This weekend, you need to relax and just enjoy the moment. Spend the next week or so gathering up stuff since you didn't pre-prepare your stuff. Once you file, be prepared to w-a-i-ttttttttt. Go ahead and apply for the work permit and advanced parole (permission to travel) so that you can get that out of the way. (Edited to add--apply with your AOS.)

We filed in May, got the AP and work authorization in August and are still marinading for the interview. Biometrics and fingerprinting were within one month of filing.

BTW--It took us 5 full weeks to get oficial copies of our marriage certificate (the original took a few weeks longer). Some folks have gotten it in person by taking their signed marriage liscence to the official office directly, but that isn't an option everywhere. If you DO have that option, jump on it.
