How to Get Married: Paperwork, Bureaucracy, and Legal Stuff

Every once in a while we Bitches are asked marriage or relationship questions. And it amuses me to no end that we are seen as ADULTS with STABLE MARRIAGES and HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. Because we live in keen awareness that we’re floating slowly down a river of Parmesan cheese straight into the yawning mouth of the Ninth Gate of Death, just like everybody else.

Not that’s it’s necessarily wrong! My marriage with Bear just feels like such a humble, natural thing. How could it possibly be instructional to others? He’s currently listening to a podcast in the shower while I do blog stuff from the couch and I love him so stupidly much.

Yet our loving relationship has much more to do with why we got married than how. Being in love and wanting to spend your life with someone is, sadly, not the only requirement for getting married (common law marriages notwithstanding).

So today I want to talk about the logistics of marriage: the paperwork, the bureaucracy, and the legal gauntlet you must run to get hitched.

In this era of modern romance, it’s pretty common for people to move in together before getting married, even to combine finances or buy property together. We did! That gradual combining of lives makes things pretty painless. But let’s say you’re doing it all at once around the time of the wedding! With that in mind, here’s a list of the steps you need to take to get married… punctuated with gifs from the wedding of John Legend’s dogs.

Hi, so-called “shipper” here if we have to put a label on it, but I don’t believe I fall into any of the buckets you mentioned in your response to recent anon. I haven’t been here that long, I have no need to project any of my fantasies onto actors, I have read lots of opposing blogs, and I’m not mentally ill. I don’t think Sam and caitriona have 5 children (which much of anon’s argument is based on, I might add). I have some of the same questions as anon, yet on the flip side, there are enough other things that don’t add up that make me think they might actually be together. I won’t proclaim to “know” things but I am discerning enough to see which “receipts” could’ve been completely made up by someone with an agenda vs. which come straight from a source. Also, in response to a comment about how ES would lose it if faced with this logic: I think that exemplifies the problem with this fandom. We all have our different beliefs and are focused on reinforcing those and proving others wrong. There’s no room for polite discourse and collective brainpower to try to solve for the things that we can all likely agree are fishy…even if we won’t admit it to each other. I think I know what a lot of counterpoints to that would be, so maybe it’s not worth saying. Point is, we all have access to different “facts” and we all believe different things accordingly. It would be nice if we could be more kind to each other as a result. Thanks for reading.

I appreciate you reaching out, Anon. But given I've been in the Outlander fandom for 9 years and know all the back history, I have to disagree with you. You DO fall into one of the categories I mentioned in my previous post. You are still in category #2. 👇

You have fallen down the rabbit hole of shipper blogs and are prey to their manipulations. I have to admit some of them are very good at making their cases. BUT, the good news is you've found my blog, where you will see the TRUTH. Just scroll through my archives and there is no room for doubts. If you look at actual facts and truth, REALITY is clear: Cait and Tony have been together since 2014, have been engaged since 2018, have been married since 2019, and had a son in 2021. No matter how Extreme Shippers skew the truth, there is NO getting around the MULTITUDE of people who actually KNOW Cait, Tony, and Sam, who have publicly stated that Cait and Tony are together, and Cait and Sam are just friends and costars.

There is NO getting around the pics of Cait and Tony when he proposed to her New Year's in Australia and her FRIENDS publicly congratulating them. There is NO getting around CAIT'S MOTHER talking on an Irish radio interview about Cait and Tony being engaged. She mentions Tony by name. There is NO getting around Cait herself showing off her engagement ring and acknowledging her engagement when she was on the red carpet for the Golden Globes. There is NO getting around Cait kissing Tony on the lips and then mentioning Tony by name when thanking him at one of the awards show when she won. There is NO getting around the church announcement at St. Mary's Church in Bruton, Somerset, England that the church was booked for the wedding for A. McGill (Anthony aka Tony). And then ALL of Cait's family and friends posting on Instagram FROM Bruton at her wedding. There is NO getting around fans paying for Cait and Tony's MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE from the official UK government marriage license website. The official legal document clearly shows Caitriona Mary Balfe marrying Anthony (Tony) Gerard McGill on August 10, 2019. Both their fathers names are in it. There is NO getting around Cait herself announcing the birth of her one and only son in August 2021. Those are indisputable FACTS.

If you want to say the HUNDREDS of Cait and Tony sightings, pics, and confirmation by family, friends, fans, costars stating that Cait and Tony are a couple, and Cait and Sam are not, can be explained away. Fine, but you CANNOT explain away official church announcements, legal documents, Cait herself telling you, and God help anyone who would be dumb enough to DARE say Cait's mother was lying about Cait and Tony being engaged. The Irish are tough people and no one messes with an Irish mum.

Anon, as for everyone has different opinions and have access to different "facts." There is ONLY ONE FACT/TRUTH. Cait and Tony are married and there is a legal document from the UK government public registrar that PROVES that. You can have an OPINION about this FACT. But you cannot say that "fact" is in dispute. FACTS are by their very definition factual, truthful. The FACT is Cait and Tony are married. Your opinion can be that you don't like them being married. But you can't dispute that they are indeed married.

If after ALL the proof, including the legal document, you don't believe they are actually married, or you have your doubts, then you are not using your full mental faculties. I'm sorry to be so blunt. But there's no sugar coating it. Any rational, reasonable, logical person with a fully functioning brain cannot be faced with a marriage certificate from the UK registrar (a copy that MANY fans were able to order and pay for) and then say it's fake. The ONLY ones trying to convince people that it's fake are Extreme Shippers. Literally the only ones. The rest of us accept REALITY.

I do appreciate you wanting to be kind and asking for kindness in return. The thing is it's difficult for me to be kind to Extreme Shippers who have made MY life hell for the last 9 years. And have also attacked and harassed Cait, Sam, Tony, any woman associated with Sam, Diana Gabaldon, any cast, crew, family, friends, and any fan who got in the way of the Sam Cait ship. Here is a previous post where I talked in more detail regarding Extreme Shippers' horrible treatment of me and anyone who got in the way of the SamCait ship. 👇

In summary, the FACTS and ONE AND ONLY TRUTH is Cait is married to Tony and they have one son together. Why would I entertain talking about anything that isn't THE TRUTH with people who literally tried to ruin my life and other peoples' lives? If they want to still sell their LIES to unsuspecting new fans, that's on them, but I'm not going to dialogue with terrorists. Their only goal is destruction. And there's no room for discourse or civility when that's the case. And make not mistake, that IS the case.

Thanks for stopping by, Anon. This blog started in 2017. You have YEARS of posts to catch up on. My previous blog was called @fortruthseekers I stupidly deleted all my posts. God, so much proof on there. BUT, luckily people's reblogs of my old posts are still out there.

Always remember and never forget, THE TRUTH, there is only ONE.

Courthouse Wedding Planning: Everything You Need to Know

Courthouse weddings offer simplicity, affordability, and intimacy, making them an attractive option for couples seeking a no-fuss ceremony. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about planning a courthouse wedding in the United States, from the initial steps to the final touches.

1. Understanding Courthouse Weddings:

Courthouse weddings, also known as civil ceremonies, take place in a courthouse or government building. They typically involve a judge, magistrate, or authorized officiant solemnizing the marriage in a legal capacity. Courthouse weddings offer a straightforward alternative to traditional ceremonies and are often favored for their efficiency and convenience.

2. Choosing Your Courthouse:

The first step in planning your courthouse wedding is selecting the location. Research local courthouses in your area to determine where you'd like to tie the knot. Consider factors such as proximity, availability of marriage services, and any specific requirements or restrictions.

3. Obtaining a Marriage License:

Before you can get married at the courthouse, you'll need to obtain a marriage license. Visit your local county clerk's office to apply for the license. Requirements may vary by state, but typically you'll need to provide identification, pay a fee, and complete an application. Be sure to inquire about any waiting periods or additional documentation needed.

4. Scheduling Your Ceremony:

Once you have your marriage license, contact the courthouse to schedule your ceremony. Availability may vary, so it's advisable to book in advance. Choose a date and time that works for both you and your partner, keeping in mind any logistical considerations or personal preferences.

5. Planning the Ceremony Details:

While courthouse weddings are often simple affairs, you still have the opportunity to personalize your ceremony. Discuss with your officiant any special requests or elements you'd like to include, such as vows, readings, or music. Coordinate with the courthouse staff regarding any additional requirements or accommodations.

6. Inviting Guests:

Courthouse weddings can be intimate gatherings with close family and friends or private affairs with just the couple. Decide whether you'll invite guests to witness the ceremony and communicate the details accordingly. Provide guests with information about the location, date, and time of the ceremony, as well as any instructions or guidelines.

7. Documenting Your Marriage:

After the ceremony, ensure that your marriage is legally recognized by completing any necessary paperwork. Your officiant will sign the marriage license, and you may need to return it to the county clerk's office for official registration. Keep copies of your marriage certificate for your records.

Conclusion: Planning a courthouse wedding in the United States is a straightforward process that allows couples to exchange vows in a simple yet meaningful manner. By following these steps and guidelines, you can create a memorable and legally binding ceremony that reflects your love and commitment.

Taylor applies for Battle-Cannon marriage license.

I happened upon the 10 September 1938 marriage license for Arthur Lee Battle, 21, and Dorothy Cannon, 18, in Wilson. My grandfather Roderick “Mike” Taylor applied for the license. What was his relationship to the couple? Was Arthur Battle, whose parents were William and Nora Battle, related to Taylor, whose maternal grandmother was Cherry Battle Barnes?

On the 27th, Cowbell would visit and give you a cowbell. On the 28th, Marriage License would visit and legally marry you to a random person in your neighborhood. On the 29th, Sniffy would visit and give you a door knob. On the 30th, Jesus would visit and give you wine. Finally on the 31st, Window Licker would visit and lick your windows.
