Changing Name

Hmmm...my legal marriage certificate was in my mailbox by the time I got home from my honeymoon (which was only a week long).

If I remember correctly, your officiant is required to mail it in within 5-7 days of the ceremony. Make sure it was mailed. If it was, then call the Clerk's office for a status.

When the License was issued to you initially, it should have had a reference number on it. At least ours did - it was issued in Queens County. If you don't have the reference number, I'm sure they could look it up for you with just your names.

Mine took about one month

They can actually put 180 in that room, but I wouldn't. I have 114 people and there was so much room. You should be fine, but I would stop at 160. It might get very tight in there after that. Good Luck. I'm going to a wedding next weekend in the back Estate building. I'm excited.
