Hello are we to include a copy nor original married Certificate in our packet in filing?

You need to include a copy of your marriage certificate with your AOS.

Yes, directions say a copy, but people on here have got a RFE requesting a certified copy. I got one, it was like $10, worth it to avoid a delay for that.

From the VJ K1/K3 AOS Guide:

8. A copy of your marriage certificate. Note: While a regular copy is allowed, submitting a certified copy is preferred as some members have received an RFE asking for this (so if one is available use that instead).

You need a photocopy only. If people are getting RFEs for copies, then it is probably because they did not send a copy of the actual certified marriage certificate you receive from the court after your marriage has been registered. That is the document you need to provide a copy of.

From the I-485 form instructions>

10. Evidence of eligibility

...

B. Based on admission as the K-1 fiancé(e) of a U. S.
citizen and subsequent marriage to that citizen

Attach a copy of the fiancé(e) petition approval
notice, a copy of your marriage certificate, and your
Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Document.
