On top of you wedding planning to-do list?  Have your venue, caterer and DJ lined up?  Kudos!  As you plan your big day, it is important to remember the legal components of your marriage.  Filing for your marriage license is an important to-do that can be left to the last minute.

It is vital to understand the marriage license filing process and timeline in the county you plan to marry in.  Each county has specific deadlines and requirements, so do not rely on advice from friends who married in different counties.  You will need to research if both you and your fiance need to file for the license in person, how many days prior to your wedding you should file, how long your marriage license is good for, if there is an age requirement, what the fee is and if any blood test results or legal documents need to be presented when you file.
