Before Your Departure

  (things book up fast!)

   confirm the availability of your date, and send deposit
* If you want a photographer, book now (check out Links)

   You will need a minimum of two adult witnesses, whom
   I can provide if I know in advance.

Upon Arrival

* Visit possible locations and choose one (see Locations)
* Contact me for final planning

On the Big Day
* Bring the following:
   License, rings, witnesses (unless arrangements have been
   made with me to provide them), “little touches,” remainder
   of my fee, camera and extra film or memory stick, special attire,
   music, flowers, “Just Married” decorations for your bike, etc.
* Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so we can meet, go over
   any questions, find the perfect spot for photos and the ceremony,    get comfortable, etc.

After the Wedding
* You may return the signed and completed marriage license to the
   courthouse yourselves (which will speed the process of getting the
   necessary paperwork for changing your name). Or I will mail it
   within one or two business days. It MUST be returned within
   10 days or the marriage isn’t valid.
* Ride the Hills in your special attire, telling everyone that you are
   newlyweds. You will be celebrated everywhere you go!
