A marriage licence (spelled
license in
American English) is a
document issued, either by a
church or state
authority, authorizing a couple to
marry. The procedure for obtaining a licence varies between countries and has changed over time. Marriage licences began to be issued in the
Middle Ages, to permit a marriage which would otherwise be illegal (for instance, if the necessary period of notice for the marriage had not been given).
This morning Jarrett and I went to fill out paperwork for our marriage license aka our intent to marry! On Thursday, it will be official... until the ceremony. I was expecting something eventful, this is a big deal! But nope, we filled out our information...she checked our id's...we signed the paperwork and paid $15. (BTW, it's $30 in Cambridge and $50 in Boston!!!!) That was it. Then we were on our way...the day goes on!
