Hi there, everyone! Here is my situation/question:
I and my fiance live in Texas, but we're getting married in Pennsylvania (where I'm from). Wedding is Saturday, 12/5. I will be in town the entire week before. He planned to arrive late on Thursday (12/3) or early on Friday (12/4), to avoid missing work as much as possible. As a contracted chiropractor, he doesn't get paid if he doesn't work!
PA requires BOTH people to apply for the license IN PERSON 3 full days beforehand. So, he needs to be in PA on TUESDAY (12/2) by 4pm, requring him to miss FOUR days of work (instead of just 1 day per the original plan).
Question is this: If we apply for the license on Friday (12/4), can we postdate the license? Have our ceremony on 12/5, and put Monday, 12/7 on the license so that the state recognizes our marriage as 3 days after the license was applied for? Are we likely to need to remember 12/7 as our LEGAL marriage date in the future?
Thanks for the help!
Shannon
