Name change? We gave our marriage license to our priest...

...now what happens? He kept it and it sounds like I need original marriage licenses in order to change my name. Where do I get them from? TIA

Congratulations!

Your marriage certificate (it's a license before the marriage occurs, then it becomes a certificate) will be mailed to the address on record given to the county's office when you and your DH got the license. It should take no longer than 6-8 weeks, although some people get theirs sooner.
