Florida Marriage License by Mail Service Tampa Florida Archives

Diane contacted me about having a Hollis Gardens wedding ceremony in Lakeland on December 27th. She had a bit of a dilemma and wanted to know if I could help her out. Her fiancé, Walter, was in New Jersey and wouldn’t be home until Saturday, December 26th…the day before she wanted the wedding. She wanted to know if there was any way of getting the marriage license and be married the following day Sunday, December 27th. Fortunately, I have dealt with this type of dilemma in the past and knew how to help her make her December 27th wedding plans work out. I told her about our convenient Florida Marriage License by Mail service which would enable us to obtain a valid Florida Marriage License for them all via mail so they could be married the day after he arrived in Florida. Diane was so happy!!!

Since their wedding was just after the Christmas holiday, Diane had me put together a wedding package which included: photographer, wedding cake, bridal bouquet, and a groom boutonniere. She was so pleased that we could take care of everything so easily and she could enjoy her Christmas holiday and wedding!

Diane e-mailed me a few days before the wedding saying, “Getting excited! Anything I should be doing?” She was amazed that she didn’t have to do anything!

Hollis Gardens is a very picturesque location for a wedding. December 27th was a warm winter day. Walter had arrived the day before. On the wedding day he met George Sr. and I at the Hollis Garden park. He is an owner of multiple pizza restaurants in New Jersey and wasn’t able to get to Florida any sooner. He and Diane were going to be moving to New Jersey the following day. He was very appreciative for all we could do to make their Hollis Gardens wedding ceremony possible.

Diane’s father gave her away. Her parents, grandson, and daughter were present at the wedding. Diane and Walter thanked us so much. Diane said, “She felt like we were now friends forever.”

Last week, Amanda and Cody had their wedding at the Tampa Museum of Art. The wedding ceremony was held under the covered terrace overlooking Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park and the Hillsborough River and University of Tampa. It was a beautiful evening. The park had a Christmas tree lit up adding to the prettiness of the evening.

Amanda and Cody both have very busy schedules and asked about our Florida Marriage License by Mail service. I let know how it works and also advised them that since they are local they could go to the court house and get the license themselves. With their busy schedules they found it more convenient to do mail away services. Once I received what I needed to process the mail away license I dropped by their home and took care of notarizing the marriage license before submitting the license to the county to obtain the actual valid marriage license. It gave us a chance to meet before the wedding and helped them out with the license. They were delighted not to have to go out to get the marriage license and found our Florida Marriage License by Mail service to be so convenient.

Amanda and Cody have been together for a few years and have a beautiful nine month old daughter Scarlett Marie. Both Amanda and Cody love art and wanted to show their love of art as a part of the wedding ceremony. In addition to having the wedding at the Tampa Museum of Art, they performed a unity heart painting ceremony. It’s like a unity sand ceremony except they painted a heart together on a canvas as part of the ceremony. I read, “What’s in your minds and hearts will be yours to share so at this time I ask you to paint together as one with the love in both of their hearts.” After they painted the heart I held up the canvas to show all the guests. It was a very neat unifying ritual for these two art lover to do during their ceremony
