Meet us in ConsultationThe consultation is our chance to get to know each other. We start out asking a little about you and telling you a little about us. We will walk you through the legal aspects of getting married so you know what steps we will be taking together. And then we will explore what you want for a ceremony and help you understand all of the wonderful choices you have to make your ceremony perfectly yours. Lastly we will discuss pricing options and find the best fit for your ceremony and your budget.

review your ceremonyThe consultation can really be an eye opening experience. But once you've had a moment to take it all in and make your ceremony selections you'll get excited to see it all come together. We will compose a first draft of your ceremony and share it with you online where we can collaborate to make sure we get it just the way you want it. You'll be able to make comments and suggestions and watch your ceremony take shape.

Get a Marriage LicenseGetting the Marriage License is the one thing we really can't do for you, but we will help you in every way possible. In the consultation we will go over all of the things you need to know in order to get the license. Then if you need a refresher or think you might need more information, we have a page dedicated to information about the Colorado Marriage License. As we near your ceremony we will send you an email reminder to go out and get your license when it's time. And we even have a handy, searchable map of all of the County Clerk & Recorder's offices in Colorado to help you find the closest office to get a license.

rehearse your ceremonyWhen you rehearse your ceremony, you're not just practicing walking in and walking out, you're practicing all of the little things from passing rings, to holding hands and where to stand. Once you know exactly what you need to do and when to do it, it will be a lot easier to focus on what's important - making your life-long promise. We will host your rehearsal and guide you, your parents and your bridal party through all of the details. That way when we do it for real everyone will feel calm and confident.

get marriedWhen the big day comes, you can get ready knowing that we will have your ceremony all set when you are. We will talk over cues with your music provider, give your photographer a run down of the ceremony and work with your venue coordinator to make sure the ceremony space is ready to go. We will give you and your bridal party some last minute reminders. And when the times comes, we will host your ceremony with pride.
|
sign your marriage licenseOnce you've walked back down the aisle together as newlyweds, the cheers have subsided and your guests are now looking for refreshments, we will take a quick minute to sign the Marriage License. We will have all of the information you need to properly fill it out and will happily guide you through the act of signing it. When it is all filled out and complete, we will take the license with us so that you don't have to worry about keeping track of a very important piece of paper while trying to lose yourself in the joy and excitement of your reception. Shortly thereafter we will mail it back to the appropriate County Clerk & Recorder's Office for them to record it and finalize the process of legally marrying the two of you.
|
CHANGE YOUR NAMEOnce the Marriage License is recorded, the County Clerk & Recorder will mail the license back to the address you provided when you went to get the license. With the Marriage License in hand you can then begin the name change process starting with getting a new social security card and a new driver's license followed by any other institution or organization you are associated with or hold an account. While we don't specifically help in this regard, we can direct you to the right places and help you understand what it takes to make it happen. And with that, you're married and on your way to a long life of happiness!
