Personal experience: my wedding in America

'26.10.2017'

After 10 days, after I arrived in the US, we signed for the court building in Baltimore. That's just it in the photo:

There are a lot of ways to sign in the USA, then I will write a separate post about it.

There is no special instance where marriages, like our registry office, exist in the USA. In the courthouse, as you know, not only married. Therefore, young people come from one entrance, and bring criminals in handcuffs to another. Romance.

Requirements for painting in each state and even the city are different. Somewhere in general, you need to take a blood test to confirm that you are not relatives. I will tell you how it was with us.

First, we bought a wedding license for 85 $, which you can marry no earlier than in 3 of the day. You never know, suddenly you bought a license in a fit of passion or having gone through alcohol.

You do not need to record for a specific time, everything happens in the order of a live queue.

We came on Friday to 8 in the morning before the work of her husband. Nobody dresses up for painting in the courthouse, but I still had a white dress and high heel shoes that I carried with me so that I could change the shoes before the ceremony.

It was very funny when the guard at the entrance said that in the courthouse you can only have one pair of shoes, and they take nothing for storage. Therefore, I had to change my heels at the entrance, and the ballet flats in which I came to hide under the nearest bush.

Painted us the same woman who sold the license. And then it suddenly became clear that we needed one witness. But we were not warned about this. Grandma came to the rescue, who confused the time of painting her grandson and arrived earlier. She was both our witness and photographer. After that, we asked her for an address in order to send her a gift in gratitude, which she categorically refused, saying that such a good deed was her honor.

The painting was carried out in the best American traditions. There is an arch, behind it is an employee who reads an oath. We stand in front of the arch, holding hands, looking at each other and repeating in turn the oath for the woman. And then I realized that I overestimated my English, I hadn’t looked at the text of the oath in advance, but he was so old fashioned, Yes, and an employee of an African American.

Some African Americans have a special accent that, at times, other US residents do not understand. I don’t even know if I pronounced some words correctly, I kept thinking, the employee was about to say: “So, you don’t understand what you are saying, come with an interpreter.” By the way, I know such cases. But, uh, it carried over.

Rings on this ceremony is not necessary to exchange. By the way, we didn’t have them yet.

Marriage certificate was issued to us immediately. We also ordered two copies of 5,5 $.

That's it, I went home, and my husband went to work. In the evening we celebrated our painting on a boat in the bay of Baltimore. We had no guests. Everything was done quickly to begin the process of obtaining documents.
