Don't Forget the License




Last Saturday's wedding...famous NYC restaurant, bride arrived in a horse-drawn carriage, dashing groom, beautiful flowers arranged by the groom's mother, fabulous jazz music...it was a stunning event.

In the rush to get ready, the marriage license didn't get to the ceremony, so the groom had to go back to his apartment to retrieve the license. The restaurant obliged by serving the cocktail hour food, the musicians played on, and the bride was unbelieveably calm looking for the 45 minute delay.

Ceremony Tip: Check and double check...decide who is responsible for bringing the license, and then check again.
