Josh and I are on our way to the downtown courthouse to obtain our official marriage license. We’re just sticklers for rules - the recommended time between application for a license and ceremony is 1 month. (Check out the date!!!) It seems we picked the right county to get married in, because the requirements are minimal, at best.
