Q:  Do I need to get the marriage licence or is this one of the jobs of the officiant?

A:  This is something that you need to get yourself.  You can contact a Marriage Licence Issuer in B.C.  Only one of you needs to apply in person but they will require information and identification for both of you.  The licence is valid for 90 days.  

Q:  Do I need a rehearsal?

A:  This is a personal preference and based on your experience with being involved with weddings and also how large your wedding party will be. I always advise couples that if they are having a large wedding party of more than 4 on the groom's side and 4 on the bride's, it is advisable to have a rehearsal.  Rehearsals can be held the week before or the night before;  it is completely up to you.

Q:  After we are married, does the marriage certificate come to us automatically?

A:  No.  You must apply for your certificate. You will need to wait a few weekds for B.C Vital Statistics to register your marriage licence. I will mail your signed license to The B.C Vital Statistics Office. I include instructions on how to apply for the marriage certificate in the packet I leave with you.
