is now available online. If you and your spouse wish to
formally express your commitment to each other, but are not

This type of marriage license is truly traditional, and was

before governments began regulating marriage.

personalized document to commemorate a marriage or renewal of
wedding vows? We offer this distinctive, fully
personalized parchment document, suitable for framing. We

lettering, along with the name of the minister (who may also
sign the document), and the date and location of the
ceremony.

PERFECT GIFT FROM THE MINISTER TO THE HAPPY COUPLE!
