angelwings wanted to add another tip for your wedding considerations....you might want to go to your clerks office to start the application process for getting the marriage license. here in America no matter what the religion including pagan wiccan legally a person is not considered to be married unless they have the marriage license. some locations it can take up to a month or two to get it processed due to clerks offices being backed up with applications and their other duties, plus there will also need to be a blood test done for it which can also take a bit of time to get done depending upon what the clerks office process is, some are able to do the blood tests and send it out and others require you to go to your own doctor with a form and others send you to the ER and some locations do not require the blood test at all. also the fee for getting a marriage license in Arizona used to be 76 dollars. it might have gone up so thats something else you will need to check into for your up coming wedding because with out the marriage license you can not get married in the State of Arizona (or any state in America). then after you have the marriage license you will have a time limit on how long that marriage license is good for. some states you only have a matter of days to marry after getting the license other states you have up to a year. so make sure to set your date, and make sure that date of the wedding is far enough in advance for you and your guy to complete the requirements of the marriage license and plenty of time to plan the wedding after you know how long the marriage license is good for. most people who plan a wedding do so by setting a date of one year. that way they can know exactly when to get all the legal aspects of the marriage done. and still have time to plan whos going to be in the wedding, wedding colors, wedding style, time to get the clothes for everyone, planning the reception for after the wedding, so much goes into getting married. have fun but dont forget the legalities like that marriage license. otherwise in the US you cant get married.
