Laws for marriage certificate vary from state to state. This means that you will depend on the state that you live in and follow by the rules. A person cannot just request for a marriage certificate without proper requirements. Laws have been required that marriage certificates are strictly handed out and you need to comply with all the requirements first.
Here are some of the requirements that you need to get a marriage certificate:A country clerk should release a marriage certificate. A clerk of the court can also release it but it requires a certain payment of a fee.Couples can be issued with a marriage certificate only if they are 18 years and older. If not, they need consent of their parents or a judge if they are younger.
Some states require proof of immunity or vaccination because many states have done away with the required mandatory exams and blood tests. Some of the states require test venereal diseases, and rubella, which is also known as German Measles. This disease is very dangerous to fetuses. In addition, they have conducted tests to check if they are free from sickle-cell anemia and tuberculosis.
A person applying for a marriage certificate should have a proof of termination of prior marriages by death or by judgment of dissolution, which is also known as annulment or divorce. If the person already had a valid marriage, he should terminate his marital status before he can obtain another. He can obtain it through divorce lawsuit or dissolution. This will result in a judgment, which will return both man and woman to the status of an unmarried person.
A person should have sufficient mental capacity. This is determined as the person's ability to enter into a contract. Marriage will require two consenting people. If one of them does not understand the purpose of getting married, then the person does not have the capacity to consent therefore, they will never be issued with a marriage certificate.
The couples should not be close blood relatives. However, in some states, first cousins can marry and it is legal. Although they allow it, a few requires that one of the cousins should not conceive children.
Due to the widespread of venereal diseases and AIDS and HIV, some states require that couples applying for marriage certificate needs to undergo an HIV test or they should be provided with enough information about AIDS..
A marriage certificate can be issued after the marriage ceremony is performed. This will also allow a satisfaction of a waiting period after the ceremony. This waiting period is the time for the couples to cool off before the date of marriage comes. The purpose of the waiting period is for them to make up their minds. Marriage ceremony should only be done until they have completely decided to get married and wish to stay with each other for the rest of their lives.
If not, at least they will have time to think if they are ready of not. Before getting married, it is important that both parties have completely come to a right decision because having a divorce is as difficult as getting married. Some divorce and annulment applications are not granted easily. Therefore, it does not make him or her available for another marriage contract with another partner.

If you thought that a marriage could succeed on love alone, please rethink. Love is transitory. The mutual attraction or the infatuation that comes in the initial phase of love disappears soon. After that what is left is the feeling that he/she is mine and I am his/hers. We have to journey together.
How a marriage changes in character after love disappears? This can occur in many ways. For example, the couple may begin regretting the marriage after the finishing of initial love phase. Or the couple may continue together as a sense of duty with each other and begin making a life together without passionate love. That needs caring for each other.
If you look back and think of marriages few decades back, most of the couples cared for each other. They called it love. It was essentially caring. A mother cares for her children because they are her responsibility and they belong to her. Similarly, partners care for each other because they got married. This kind of thought process can take the marriage last forever. The different thought processes of I want my freedom. I made a mistake. I am not happy with you. I must search for somebody better and so on leads to break-up. This thought process is I centered, where as the earlier one I described was care centered. You are mine and I must care for you.
We have to learn to respect human beings. We have to set aside our selfish desires for some time. We have to think about destruction that takes place by frequent marriage and divorce. Developing the thought of care for each other can surely help in making a marriage last longer.
Unusual Bridesmaids Gifts To Make Your Bridesmaids Feel Special
(category: Marriage, Word count: 641)

A wedding day is a very special, in fact unique, day for the bride and groom, and for close family and friends, especially those who play a part in the ceremony, such as the bridesmaids. In most cases, the bridesmaids do get a fair amount of attention as part of the supporting cast, and it is usual for bridesmaids gifts to be given as a memento of the occasion.
As bride and groom, though, you may want to say a big thank you to the bridesmaids and do something a bit special for them. So, you may be considering an unusual bridesmaids' gift to show them their role was more important to you than they may have thought; and, that they are not and will not be forgotten.
Wanting to give an unusual bridesmaid gift is one thing, but finding one is a different matter altogether. However, maybe "finding" is not the right way to go about it. You want to thank the bridesmaids for their support on your special wedding day, so why not thank them by arranging something special for them, in which they, not you, are the focus of attention?
What you do will, of course, depend on budget, and what you think the bridesmaids will all appreciate. Here are just a few ideas for unusual bridesmaids' gifts that you could arrange.
Bridesmaids' Bash
On the wedding day itself, you probably had a reception and maybe a disco or some form of entertainment for the wedding guests. Again, the stars of the show were you, the bride and groom. One sure way to show appreciation is for you to stand aside and bring the bridesmaids to the fore, to feel very special and appreciated.
One thing you could do is to arrange a Bridesmaids Bash, a party arranged just for them. If you are going away for a honeymoon, would it not be nice to get back home, and a few days latter have a special party organised for the bridesmaids Of course, you can give them a small memento also, but as the main, and unusual, bridesmaids gift, a fun bash in which they are the focus, could go down really well.
Bridesmaids' Beauty Binge
There is no doubt that almost every bride and groom goes to great lengths to look their best on the wedding day; the same is true of the bridesmaids. There is also no doubting that girls and young women across the bridesmaid age group do feel special when they are having a lot of attention being paid to their health and beauty.
For an unusual bridesmaids' gift, how about negotiating with a local parlour for a group beauty session for all the bridesmaids? It would be fun for them to go together a couple of weeks after the wedding, and have a makeover, pedicure, manicure, new hairdo, massage; whatever you can afford to make a fuss of them for an hour or two, or three.
Bridesmaids' Bloat Out
Another bridesmaid gift idea that is a bit unusual is, rather than the full Bridesmaids' Bash, take them all out for a special meal a week or two after the wedding. This idea is not for those on a diet, but as they are all young and probably in good shape, some sort of feast, a Bridesmaids' Bloat Out, could be a good idea. It is best to sound them out in advance, so you can choose a venue they will all be delighted with, whatever their age.
To make it special, you could arrange for a local florist, or the establishment manager, to deliver flowers, or some other gift, to the table. A little bit of imagination could make this a fun occasion to all and give the bridesmaids the special attention they deserve.
Can You Save Your Marriage

How to save your marriage is not exactly the same for one person as it is the next. It's true that in most cases a marriage can be improved with a few simple steps, but the amount of improvement varies from marriage to marriage-check out these tips to help get your back on track...
How To Save Your Marriage 1
You need to get the communication back. Communication is usually one of the first things that dries up in a problematic marriage, and that in itself leads to a lot of other problems.

Find out what it is that made you want to communicate with each other to begin with. After a few days of doing this you should find your communication skills are beginning to come back for each other.

Infidelity Childs Play Or So You Thought
(category: Marriage, Word count: 818)

Infidelity is a funny little thing that come and bite you in the bum when you least expect it. Affairs might be fun at the time but infidelity isn't worth destroying your marriage for.
I often liken affairs to an addiction whereby however much you tell yourself you shouldn't be doing something you feel compelled to do the opposite. And of course, while it's sitting there for you on a plate who are you to say no. However, infidelity is like any other addiction, there comes a time when you realise that this isn't what life is all about and decide to let go. Unfortunately, all too often the realisation comes too late!! Just remember, if you want to play such a dangerous game as adultery someone is always going to get hurt.
I personally believe that you shouldn't sleep with someone while you are sleeping in the marital bed. Infidelity can be really cruel on the cheated partner, have you ever thought how you would feel if you knew your partner was behaving the same as you?
Some people do have open relationships and it does work but ground rule number one has to be that your partner is aware and is happy with the situation.
If you are the one commiting adultery now is the time to ask yourself is infidelity really worth it. Is your life that bad that you need to shit on your spouse from such a great height? Do you love the person you are having an affair with and if so do you love them enough to destroy the lives of those around you. Is the new relationship strong enough to last and is it truly worth the infidelity?
A slight interlude - I had a mare once who, fell in love with a gelding in another field. She wasn't really allowed to see this horse because where they were kept most of the owners preferred their horses to be in separate paddocks. This didn't make a difference to my mare who, would jump out of her paddock into the next as soon as you put her back in her field (where she had several companions). After a month of messing around, jumping 7ft high hedges and a series of five bar gates just to get to the one she loved she got evicted for bad behaviour. I took her to another yard where she immediately flirted with all the guys and totally forgot the horse that she had got herself (and her mate) evicted over.
Anyway back to marriages and affairs. The only advice I can give you if you are having an affair is that you have to make a choice, and you have to choose now. It is totally unfair to both your spouse and the person you are having the affair with to continue as you are, you need to choose .
The choice is hard but you have to make it with a clear head and an open mind. Just because you are going through a rough patch now doesn't mean to say that with a little effort you can't save your marriage and become stronger and ultimately be better than it was at the start. Before you destroy what was and could still be a good thing be 100% certain that even with a lot of effort you can't save yourr marriage and that the person you are committing the infidelity with and destroying your marriage for is someone you want to stay with for the rest of your life.
If your partner is having the affair, or you suspect they are, it doesn't mean that it is the end of your marriage. For one your suspicions might be incorrect and for two if it's true you are now in the driving seat. The future of your marriage is in your hands. You need to decide whether or not you feel you can and want to save your marriage, is it worth saving and can you forgive you partner for such a stupid mistake. We all make mistakes and some of us make more serious mistakes than others but should infidelity necessarily ruin the rest of our lives?
You need to ask yourself:
Do you still love your partner?
Do you want to save your marriage?
And are you committed to trying to save it?
If you truly want to save your marriage then you will always wonder 'what if?' if you don't make the effort now.
Just because your partner is having an affair it doesn't mean to say that they don't still love you and it doesn't mean to say that they don't want to try to work with you to save your marriage.
Don't just sit back and let infidelity destroy your relationship, say no to affairs and save your marriage before it's too late.
How Could Everything Change So Dramatically

I came across this quote today and wanted to share it with you. You may find that it relates to your marriage.
"The difficultly with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but we must live with a character."
- Peter Devries
We can only appreciate the profundity of this statement if we understand what is meant by CHARACTER.
"Personality" is easy to understand. Your "personality" is how people experience you. It's your public persona.
But what is "character?" And why is "character" so crucial in your marriage?
Character is who you are when no one is watching.
Let me say that again so you can read it slowly and really digest it this time.
Character is who you are when no one is watching.
You see, when you and your spouse met, you met each other's PERSONALITIES. You showed your spouse and you were shown by your spouse your public personas. I'm not saying you tricked each other. It's just your personality...how you display yourself to others.
But marriage lasts too long in too close quarters for anyone to sustain a public persona. Personalities eventually give way to an INNER SELF that gets revealed for the first time. And there you each stand, naked as if no one is watching. But someone is watching. And that's when you meet for the first time...again!
You and your spouse don't meet the person who charmed each other's friends, bought gifts for each other's parents, and always smiled from ear to ear. No, this time it's a meeting of your CHARACTERS.
In many cases, it's not only that you're meeting each other for the first time, but it's that you're meeting YOURSELVES for the first time.
Most people wouldn't be caught dead treating anyone the way they treat their spouse. Most people don't recognize their own behavior. "I'm just not myself with him/her." Well then who is that person? That's YOU...it's your character. (And your spouse meets their character.)
The reason so many people fail at marriage and an attempt at marriage renewal is NOT that they don't like their spouse. It's that they don't like THEMSELVES. And while everyone else in their life is like a mirror reflecting their personality; their spouse is a mirror reflecting their character. And most people don't like what they see.
Many people would rather choose to be with someone else than remain with their spouse and have to continue to be with themselves. (Did you get that?)
Balthasar Gracian wrote in his 17th century manual on success, The Art of Worldly Wisdom, as follows: "You are as much a real person as you are deep. As with the depths of a diamond, the interior is twice as important as the surface. There are people who are all facade, like a house left unfinished when the funds run out. They have the entrance of a palace but the inner rooms of a cottage."
Marriage renewal and individual character development go hand-in-hand. If you want to improve one, work on the other too.

How To Thank 380 Million People With Class
(category: Marriage, Word count: 477)
Share this article on: Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp
Brides and grooms have to thank close to 380 million people during the year 2006. It sounds like an impossible task, but there is help. Wedding favors are small tokens of appreciation presented to the reception guests. Historically, wedding favors were valued little and often ended up in the trash after the wedding. The wedding favors of today are not your mother's wedding favors.
As the average amount spent on weddings has skyrocketed to $28,000 brides have a larger budget for wedding favors. Only a few percent of the total budget is spent on favors, so brides have to be creative to find unique products.
Brides have to provide wedding favors for an average of 165 guests. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to buy stylish wedding favors. A couple of dollars per guest can get you a wedding favor that is going to be cherished. Make no mistake, though, a stylish wedding favor can make the difference between a good wedding and a great wedding
It is difficult to come up with gift ideas both men and women appreciate, so it make sense to have different favors for men than women. Men may appreciate an elegant wine stopper while you give a beautiful rose candle to your female guests.
Wedding favors can be a variety of different products. One of the most popular wedding favors is personalized chocolate. Chocolate is a sure hit with most people and it is only natural that chocolate wedding favors are a welcomed gift. One of the greatest advantages of chocolate favors is that they can be personalized. Often, the names of the bride and groom and date of the wedding is printed on the wrapper, while a short message such as "Thank you for sharing our special day!" is printed on the back.
Although destination weddings cost a couple of thousands dollars less than traditional weddings, brides don't have to do without stylish wedding favors. Many destination weddings are in exotic beach destinations where beach theme wedding favors are most fitting. Seashell filled gel candles are favors your guests can cherish for years to come. Dolphin wine stoppers or bottle openers are functional wedding favors that perfectly fit the destination-wedding theme.
Although millions of dollars are spent on wedding favors, many brides leave ordering to the last minute. The best place to start your search for wedding favors is online. The prices and selections are abundant. The fierce competition among online favor retailers drives prices down benefiting the brides. It is possible to find functional favors for less than a couple of dollars per guest. Just a little effort and creativity can promote a favor from a throwaway item to something wedding guests will have in their home as a keepsake for years to come.

A pendant is a decoration on the neck and symbolizes what the person treasures the most.
Pendants come in a variety of metals, but the ones with precious gemstones are the most attractive. A diamond circle pendant sitting beautifully on the throat is a beauty and catches the eye.
Diamond circle pendants are popular pieces of jewelry that are much sought after, not only for the beauty they bring but also for what they symbolize. A diamond circle pendant symbolizes eternity, which means there is no end.
A diamond circle pendant can be worn to symbolize eternal love. Just as you cannot find the beginning and ending of the circle in a pendant, similarly love has no beginning or end. Just as there is no gap in a circle, true love is something that is full and complete. The beauty of this sentiment can be conveyed by gifting a diamond circle pendant to your loved ones, be it your mother, sister who is away from you, a friend, or your loved one. The meaning of a diamond circle pendant is only limited by your imagination. For some, a circle could mean that life has come a full circle, for others it could mean a love that has no end, and yet some may look at it as just another fashion statement.
When the diamond circle pendant is presented to a girl, it means that the man promises to be with her forever and will share her joys and sorrows for life.
The reasons may differ but the popularity of a diamond circle pendant is overwhelming and seems to attract all sort of people, the more traditional people to the outright fashion conscious youngsters. The diamond circle pendant certainly depicts that there is no end to its popularity.
Because of the huge demand for these pendants, jewelers have come out with various sizes to fit different budgets. You get these diamond circle pendants in various colors to suit every outfit in your wardrobe.
These diamond circle pendants can be worn with gold chains or chains made with white gold or silver or with anything else. They exude equal brightness and elegance with any metal and look outstanding on your throat. They can be worn with a necklace of other gemstones too and will make you look like a queen in all her grandeur. You can choose to have just a single diamond or many diamonds embedded in a circular metal. As with any other diamond purchase, you need to look into the quality of the diamond.
Let the diamonds glitter on your throat and enhance the beauty of anything you wear. Since the diamond circle pendant is so visible, be ready to get some envious glances your way. Be prepared for all the attention.

Russian brides are the most popular type of mail order bride. However, when going into this type of market, there are most scams than honest deals. Many people turn to the Internet to find love. There are millions of online dating consultants and plenty of mail orders. However, how do you know that you are being scammed? Look for the following signs. If you can recognize any of them to your situation than you are most likely being scammed!
Well first, you should be caution with anyone online dating or brides. When you put your profile on site, you should let yourself go and place a picture online. Most of the time people only search pictures so if you're serious, add a pic. If someone responses to your profile and claims to be in love at first sight, stand back.
There is no such thing, even if they do have a legitimate feeling about you, it's not love! No one can fall in love to a profile. Next, think about the Russian's picture. Did it look professional? If so, then don't keep an interest because most Russian's who are there for love or marriage, don't get professional pics done. You should look at their income and guess their personality. If the picture contradicts, your impression of the woman, than it's not the person or it's a scam. You do have a possibility of getting an honest profile and done by professionals, but it won't be model quality.
Once you get to know someone (a couple of responses), you should ask her to take a picture of herself in front of a landmark like the Kremlin or in her garden or something that will look like the Russian environment. You can possible trap the person early one by asking for more pictures. If the person is using pictures of someone else, she/he may forget what they sent you to begin with and then you can call them out if there are discrepancies.
Look at the letters; do they look like they are mass-produced? Is your name only placed in a couple places all the time? Also, pay attention to content. If you are never asked about your life, family, the city you live in and so on, then they aren't interested in meeting you. Also, make your letters personally like your dog died or you took the long way home today and if you get no response to that than the letters are mass produced and it's a scam. There are so many more things that you can pick out of the conversations or letters that will tell you it's a scam. You shouldn't allow yourself to be blind and specially look for some of these tips.
When it comes to Russian Brides, you must be careful and try to find any signs of a scam. It can be hard to judge someone whom you've become accustomed to lean on, but it must be done to protect your privacy, feelings, and bank account.
