Follow-up to free new bride name change kit

Question:

Hello, Rev. Coleman,

We are already married, but I came across your website - which is amazing! I wish we would have found you before the wedding!

For the download of the free name change kit you referred to in your last blog post, that link led me to an error page. Your tips and information are so helpful, would you be willing to email that kit to me?

Also - We got married on the 28th of March of this year and still have not received our marriage license, is this wait normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

New Bride With Old Name


Answer:

Dear NBWON,

Congratulations on your wedding! Also, thank you so much for your kind words - you made my day.

I'm so sorry that the download didn't work. Theoretically, when a person clicks on the link, it's supposed to then download a Word document...but that kind of thing doesn't always work. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Attached is your free new bride name change kit...(readers, here's the link - hopefully, it will work for you!)

By the way, would you be willing to do me a favor? If you find that you have questions about any part of the kit, feel free to let me know, so I can correct it and make the kit even better!

Warm regards,

Rev. Tomkin Coleman

p.s. Regarding your marriage license - it can take a while for your Minnesota county (whether it's Hennepin, or Ramsey, or whatever) to process your marriage license and mail you your stamped and certified copy (it can take up to a month!) If the process takes any longer than that, I'd recommend calling your minister, and then calling the county (sometimes the county has your address wrong, for instance).
