I just knew someone was going to come up with something I had forgotten! You guys are the best.

I forgot about framing pics for the fireplace mantle at the reception. I also didn't realize that you need to bring your marriage license to the ceremony with you... DUH!

We had our final meeting with our Officiant this past Monday and gave him our marriage license. He'll bring it to the ceremony. We were told that after the ceremony, we will go into the bridal suite and sign the marriage license in front of two witnesses, and then it's official!!

If you're not going to see him before the day of the wedding, then def. bring it with you the day of!!

ETA: We're getting married on site at the hall, not in a church, and we're not having a rehersal dinner.
