Wedding preparations

This week has been totally crazy - I've been getting together all the necessary paperwork for our wedding. We're more or less almost done - just the final medical exam is left, which we will do Monday morning, and my officially translated birth certificate will be ready for pick up Monday afternoon. We're hoping to be able to go to the mairie, or city hall, on Tuesday morning, where we will submit our file and pick a date for the wedding!

Sounds like you have it all covered, but I didn't know you needed a medical to get married in France.

Enjoy the day.

See you both soon,

Oooooh, thanks guys for the comments! How fun!

Actually, yes a medical exam is a requirement for marriage, but all they do is make you do a bunch of blood tests - it's mostly to check for STD's, but also they do a check of blood type to make sure that the bride and groom have compatible blood types and to check for any possible pregnancy problems.
