TOPIC:
Despite how simple it’s portrayed on TV and in movies, there's a lot of legal hoops that couples are required to jump through before actually being married. We break down the differences between a marriage license and a marriage certificate, how to change your last name if you choose to, and all of the different legal processes that go into getting married. We highlight some rules that different states have and explain why you shouldn’t leave the legal stuff until the last minute.
In this episode, we discuss:
The average cost of a marriage license
The benefits of applying for a confidential marriage license
The easiest place to get your marriage license
What an officiant is and what’s required of them
The best time to change your last name
What the process is like for marrying a non-US citizen

WRAP UP:
To wrap up the episode, Corinne and Natalie play Would You Rather. Corinne asks Nat to choose between getting rich in a way that disappoints her family, or just making enough money to live. She also asks her to decide between going to an intimate birthday party for someone she doesn't know, or organizing a huge party for someone she does know. Nat asks Corinne to choose between spending a week alone in some sort of tank in the ocean, or a station in outer space.
