Frequently Asked Questions
Will you allow us to write our own vows?
Most definitely. I also have options you can choose from if you wish.
Will you marry couples of same sex, different faiths or previous divorce?
Not a problem.
How long does the ceremony usually last?
About 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the ceremony and music.
Do you get the marriage license for us?
I'm afraid not, you are responsible for obtaining the marriage license from the correct authorities. I can help and
point you in the right direction. License info here Also be aware that there is a 5 day waiting period from the time you apply for a license to when you receive it for MN and
WI. In Iowa the wait is 3 days.
How long after the ceremony do you file for the official marriage license?
As soon as possible. Wisconsin requires it to be returned in 3 days to the county in which the marriage takes place,
Minnesota within 5 days to the county where the marriage license was obtained and Iowa within 15 days to the county where
the marriage license was obtained.
How do I go about getting the certified copy of the marriage license?
In Minnesota and Iowa, 1 copy will be automatically sent to you by the county the license is returned to. In Wisconsin,
you will have to request it (for a fee) from the county recorder in the county the marriage took place in.
Can we read or hear our ceremony before the wedding day?
I will send you a draft copy (several times if necessary) to review for corrections and updates.
Can we have someone else do a reading for us?
If you would like a friend or family member to do a reading or poem they are more than welcome to.
What do I get for my fee?
You will receive a wedding ceremony crafted to your liking, either from your ideas or from sources I have. I will show
up 30 minutes prior and perform your ceremony at the location and day of your choice and you will be given a copy of the ceremony
(extra copies can be made as necessary for accompanists to follow). Mileage to/from your ceremony is included if within
my service area. I will ensure that the paperwork is filled out completely and that it is returned to the proper
authorities. You will also receive a certificate from me with your witness's signatures.
