Hey Jessica,

 

Do you have any family members attending that happen to be bilingual? Perhaps you can arrange to have them translate the ceremony as it's being done?  That is the only cost efficient option I can think of...

Ah that is a great suggestion!!!  I had not thought about that, Thanks I will def. look into that.

Hey ladies, An FYI make sure you mention to Keisha when she would like your notarized documents sent for your marriage certificate. She did not contact me for the first time until today and I am getting married in 30 days. I had to send her my documents Fed Ex from VA and it cost $120 to send four pieces of paper to get to her by the 30 day make of the wedding day. I have had a not so great experience with her. My travel agent has been talking to her supervisor, Keisha told her supervisor that she contacted me and had not. The response I got from Keisha was well I assumed that your TA would have fowarded you messages. Whaaa!? This lady better be glad I am nice and that she is responsible for what my wedding is going to look like! Ha

Thanks for the tip!

 

I will for sure be emailing her about that probably around July. Our wedding is in January. So depending on her response time i figure that will be enough time to get everything in!

 

I sent her a long email asking about a private reception with a number of questions. All she did was answer yes the private recep is 1000.00.. didnt answer the other 5 questions.. -sighs- oh well So far its been ok, other than a time issue.  Speaking of which I should email my TA about as well

Hey AshleyD,

 

Can you confirm what doc's were required?  I have already gotten our Long Form Birth Certificates and made sure our Passports are up to date.  And how much did it cost you to get your photocopies notarized by a lawyer?

 

Thanks:)

Yassy.

Hey Yassy, You don't have to have them notarized by a lawyer, just any notary. I am not sure of the cost because I just had someone in my office at work notarize them for me. It should not be much for that at all! The documents that they need are notarized copies of you and the grooms birth certificates, passports, and drivers license. If either person needs a name change form if they were ever adopted or married previously, they would need that one too.
