12. Marriage License Insurance (MLI). MLI is ideal for the couple that wants to prepare for any future discrepancies as it relates to a re-signing. At times a couple may forget to bring their marriage license to the ceremony or they have gotten married in a county that they were prohibited to or any similar cases. MLI will minimize the cost associated with a re-signing.
⮚ For any resigning, the couple will have to pay the full signing price. To avoid paying the full resigning fee of $150.00, couples are encouraged to purchase Marriage License insurance.
⮚ Your opportunity to purchase MLI expires 24 hours after your appointment date.
⮚ There are two types of MLI.
o The 2-month plan – This plan is only $25.00 and allows the couple to have another signing (free of charge) until two months after their
initial scheduled appointment date.
o The 4-month plan – This plan is only $50.00 and allows the couple to have another signing (free of charge) until four months after their
initial scheduled appointment date.
o Concerning clients who may have not gotten certified tracking and their marriage license got lost in the mail, your two or four months will start after the 10th day that your license was supposed to be received by the probate court.
⮚ For example: If your marriage appointment was on December 21st, 2018 and you got your marriage license signed on that date, you would have 10 days for your license to be delivered (12/30). December 31st, 2018 is when your 2 or 4- month period would begin.
⮚ If the couple needs to get a re-signing after 4 months, please expect to pay the full resigning fee.
13. Late fees only come into place after the 15-minute grace period has been reached. On the 16th minute of the late couple’s tardiness, a late fee of $1.00 per minute will be imposed based on the initial late time.
For example, if the couple schedules an appointment for 12:00 pm on a Friday and the couple arrives at 12:15 pm they will not be charged a late fee. However, if the couple has an appointment for 12:00 pm and they show up at 12:16 pm the couple will be charged a $16.00 late fee. $1.00 per minute that the couple is late.
Also, if the couple arrives at the scheduled time, but does not begin the wedding at the scheduled time, the couple will also receive a late fee when it falls after the 15-minute grace period.

14. The couple understands that any fee that has been paid is non-refundable.
15. False Booking Practices (FBP) – FBP is not allowed.

If this happens, when the officiant arrives at the location the couple (or paying party) must pay for services via CASH or CASHAPP only before services are rendered.
