I've heard that you have to have a 'certified' copy or whatever, but never "too old." So, what, only newlyweds can use this document? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! Kudos to you for not snatchin' somebody bald! Maybe you could just print off a 'new' marriage certificate in Word and everyone would be happy. :)Broniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739372781106118543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30022138.post-2981638545192494242007-11-09T22:02:00.000-05:002007-11-09T22:02:00.000-05:00And oh yeah, I was slightly surprised to see that ...And oh yeah, I was slightly surprised to see that you're adopted, but then also not so much.

Crap, wrap it all up in a trip to Vegas! This is total legal - you can actually get married in every state if you wanted to. I hope you saved the old Social Security card.QThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544956727530046973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30022138.post-26377687696341631842007-11-09T11:24:00.000-05:002007-11-09T11:24:00.000-05:00Isn't the government a fun thing to deal with.
