question for my married mamas
How did you display your wedding license?
Lol well I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of displaying theirs.
There's no personal info besides our names and the date we were married. I planned on hanging it with our wedding photos. I'll probably do it in our bedroom because its pretty bare in the there and I am already doing a different collage wall in the living room.
Idk why everyone's making you feel weird lol I framed ours because I thought it was a sweet idea ? no one comes in our room that I wouldn't trust to see our parents last name lol... and if a burglar comes in then we're screwed anyways because he could just take our file box.
It's in our room and I want to surround it with our parents' wedding photos, grandparents, then great grandparents around that ?
We have the "unofficial, decorative one" it's like an old school looking one that you, your spouse, and the ceremony performer signs at the ceremony. It's just for the heck of it. I didn't do anything with mine. I do however have two shelves with "wedding stuff" on them in my living room. This includes photos in frames that were gifts, a huge "h" (our last name) that everyone Signed at the reception, a copy of our invite, and a shadow box. The shadow box contains our newspaper announcement, notes to each other, a small container of captain morgan( we did the wine and notes ceremony but didn't use wine), and we used the box during the ceremony. If anywhere I guess i would put it in there, but it doesn't fit and wouldn't match. I do have a picture of me leaning over my husbands shoulder holding the fake certificate with my fingers crossed. My photographer thought it was cute.
My bachelors degree is hanging on my wall in my room.... Maybe this is an indication of my values... Lol....
Our keepsake only has our full names.
The official one has parents names etc.
Dang is Ohio just weird or what? We can't be the only ones who get one can we? Lol
I mean I seen some cute displays on pinterest. Y'all are making me feel weird ??
When we filed for the license they gave us a keepsake one, and at the bottom it had two parts the officiant filled out, one part for his records and the second part we sent in the mail. Then they mailed us our official copy which is used to go change my name etc.
She said the keepsake is useless its just more of memorabilia type thing.
We didn't get a keepsake one. Just the official, need it for paperwork one.
@ice don't feel bad. I've lost mine before, and found them later. That's why we have so many. Luckily, it's just a quick trip to the court house and a $2 fee for a new one (here anyway). I am sure those ladies get sick of seeing me.
Maybe its a certificate? Am I using the wrong word? ?
I got the official one in the mail a few days ago, the one you take to the social security office and bmv. That's going in the important files. I'm talking the one they give u when you file for the license and they say its a keepsake.
Mine is sitting in my unmentionables drawer. I have to use it for so much paperwork, if I framed it I'd have to take it out all the time.
If I could frame it like I want, I'd have it in a frame surrounded by pictures of our little family together.
Side note, I hate that I always need it to prove I'm married and who I am because of my changed last name, but DH only needed it once for his jobs insurance.
Not the official one. Lol
I've seen a few ideas on Pinterest but nothing really that caught my eye.
My parents had theirs framed on their bedroom wall mines in a pile of papers. Lol
