Make smart financial decisions with DailyFinance


After the ceremony is over, you get married. You know what we mean ... those pesky papers you have to sign once the groom has kissed the bride, and before you can move on to the serious partying? They're what really make you married. Ninety-nine percent of the ceremony is just window dressing.

If you have children who can write their names, you can involve them in this part of the ceremony, too. The Family Wedding Certificate shown above comes with the family medallions we showed you earlier, but there's no reason you couldn't have your own made.

Find yourself a calligrapher and get it done up as decorative, frame-able art, a remembrance of the day and a sign on the new family created when you said "I do."
