My fiance and I have decided to take wedding photographs before the wedding ceremony so that we can have proper lighting. The obvious problem is that we will have to see each other before the wedding -- and I really wanted to have that great moment when my groom sees me for the first time walking down the wedding aisle.
No Earlier Than 30 Days Before the Wedding. Some states mandate that a marriage license is valid for only 30 days. Therefore you should wait until a month before your wedding. These documents can now be processed immediately. It is important not to get the document too early or it might expire before your ceremony.
