There are so many fun parts about planning a wedding! We brides all look forward to picking out gorgeous flowers for bouquets, selecting songs that remind us of romantic moments, and flipping through wedding magazines until we find the dress or the hair style that makes our hearts go pitter patter.
And then there are the not so fun parts in planning a wedding...namely the paperwork. While filling out forms is no fun for anybody, certain pieces of paper become vital to the sanctity of marriage. Specifically, correctly filling the marriage license is required before any of your lovely visions of the wedding day can come to life.
Iowa and Illinois have different requirements that you must meet before you can be declared legally married; in fact, each state has slightly different requirements. Some charge more than others, some have different waiting periods between the day the license is issued and the day you can get married.

Happy filing!
