Hi Everybody,

My interview is on 20th Feb and all excited getting closer to being my Fiance soon.
We have started planning our marriage date and have a question regarding the wedding process.

Our Situation

1) Me and my fiance are Hindu.
2) His family doesnt bother much about auspicious dates however they would prefer any Thursday (Saibaba day).
3) My parents want us to tie knot on a auspicious date.
4) And We both want to be together as soon as possible.
5) However my parents have asked me to stay with my sister in Missourri untill we get married. Because our culture does not allow live-in untill married.

Our Wedding Plan

Keeping above in mind, we were planning to get married within 3-5 days as soon as I land in US.
Since my interview is on Feb 20, I am planning to be with my Fiance by first week of March.

Our Issue

After googling around I found couple of auspicious dates. Though I have asked my Dad to find out some more dates from our PunditJi).

Auspicious wedding dates :
March 2008 - 1 Mar, 4 Mar, 11 Mar, 26 Mar.
After that till April 14 there are no auspicious dates (as heard).

Our Question

1) Considering the above dates, when should we get the marriage certificate?
2) Someone said marriage certificate validity is of 30 days which means getting married within 30 days of marriage certificate purchase.
3) Also heard that we may need to purchase marriage certificate 30 days in advance of marriage date.
4) Am confused now and would like to know process of getting marriage certificate and getting married? We will get married in Texas.
5) How much time should we count?

We have to plan my flight accordingly because I do not want to stay at my sister's place away from my Fiance for long. This process has tested our patience too much and when we are almost through we just cant be away from each other for any xyz reason. cray5ol.gif Help!!!

Thanks,
Manya

You think thats crazy!!! I have gone absolutely paranoid... keep checking the papers atleast twice a day. Daniel thinks the 2 of us (u and i) seriously need to stop worrying. He wants to shake Manish's hand too just coz he understands exactly what he might be going through - about to get married to a megaworrier like me rolleyes.gif tongue.gif
