Weddings In A Flash!!

srsorrell — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:23:44 CDT

Weddings In a Flash is a unique wedding provider that gives a bride and groom the freedom of having a simple wedding without all of the fuss.

Susan R. Sorrell is a South Carolina Notary and Anne K. Taylor is a Professional Photographer in Greenville, SC. They came up with this concept for couples that wanted to have a wedding without all of the stress and expense. If you are thinking of having a small or big wedding at the park we can do that! (we love casual weddings) You choose if you want to write your own vows, recite contemporary vows or traditional vows. Bring along your pets to share this special moment with you. (Due to gas going through the roof, we are only doing weddings in Greenville City limits or the Little House Art Studios. Check out the Wedding Packages for Prices.)

Commitment Ceremony

srsorrell — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 17:36:11 CDT

This Ceremony is a public declaration of a couple’s life-long commitment, to love and dedication with each other. This is a perfect alternative with an intimate and loving ceremony for same sex couples.

If, after our initial contact, you decide you would like me to perform your ceremony, we can arrange a suitable time for us to meet to enable us to get to know each other, together we can design a beautiful ceremony, one you will remember for the rest of your life. As your Commitment day will be one of the most important days of your life, I will make myself available to you at any time prior to the ceremony for any queries or concerns you may have.

South Carolina does not recognize legal marriages between same sex partners, but we do a Commitment Ceremony for couples that would like to show their love for each other. These do not have any legal bindings between the two people, but it gives the couple peace of mind that they are showing the world their commitment to each other.

On your Commitment Day, I will arrive no less than 30 minutes early to setup and to check that everything is in order. After your ceremony, I will provide you with a full copy of your Commitment ceremony.

The fees for the Commitment Ceremony are $60.00 for a ceremony on site at the studio and $120.00 off site within Greenville City Limits.

Outside of Greenville city limits...150.00 and up plus milage.

Make sure you sign the Commitment Ceremony Registry athttp://www.unionoflove.com and you can obtain a Commitment Ceremony certificate there also. Or check the Wedding Links for other resources.

You can contact Susan at 864-400-8553 or email at sorrell@creativechick.com

South Carolina – How to Apply for a Marriage License

To get married in the state of South Carolina, you need to obtain a marriage license. The following requirements apply to both residents and non-residents:

The bride and groom must appear together at the office of a South Carolina county probate judge and file a written application. This application asks for the full name, social security number, age, and place of residence of the bride and the groom. It is a sworn statement that must be signed by the bride and the groom and then notarized in the office of the probate judge.
Some probate judges require both the bride and groom to show their social security cards.
There is a waiting period after the application is filed before the license can be picked up and the marriage can take place. This waiting period varies from county to county, so please contact the appropriate county probate judge at least a week before you plan to get married. (One day in Greenville County)
If you are 18 years old or older, you do not need parental consent. But you must provide proof of your age (or simply identification if you're over age 25) by presenting one of the following:
- Valid driver's license
- Original birth certificate or a certified copy of your birth certificate
- Current military identification card
- Current passport
If you are under the age of 18, parental consent can be granted for boys and girls who are at least 16 years old. All minor applicants must file an original birth certificate or a certified copy of their birth certificate, which becomes a part of their permanent application record. The parent or legal guardian of a minor applicant must appear at the same time as the minor to present identification and sign a form consenting to the marriage.
No blood test or physical exam is required.
South Carolina residency is not required.
No proof of divorce is required.
The fee for a marriage license varies from county to county.

Additional Information

A South Carolina marriage license is valid only for marriages performed in South Carolina.
There is no expiration date for a South Carolina marriage license.

About Susan and Anne

srsorrell — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 16:10:58 CDT

susan sorrell-notary and artist

"Weddings In A Flash" is the brain child of Susan Sorrell. When Susan was planning her own wedding in 2006, she kept running into road blocks. Her church was charging to use the small chapel (500.00) and they wanted her and John to go to their counselor for pre-martial counseling...which was an extra 250.00. (And then add in the photographer, cake, reception, dress, invitations, etc.) The cost just kept going up and they wanted to spend their money on a cool honeymoon and art supplies. Both of them had done the large weddings the first time around and didn't want to get into the planning what a customary wedding includes.

Susan and John had been together for 6 years and this was both of their second marriages. Since they wanted to include their families and didn't want to spend a wad of cash, Susan had this idea. What if you could hire a notary and photographer in one package and they could meet you at a special place for the wedding? Well, there was nothing like that in Greenville, SC and Susan decided to get her notary license and have her friend Anne Taylor join her in this venture. What a great way for couples to tie the knot and spend their money on a honeymoon or down payment on a house!

So, if you and your sweetie love to hike and want to get married in your back yard or want to get married at the Cleveland Park we can do that. We love casual weddings!! Ann and Susan want to make this as easy as possible for the couple, so let us know what you have in mind and we can toss out ideas too.

Along with Susan and Anne, Susan's husband John DeLeon can do services in Spanish!
