There are many reasons why people search for them. These records also serve various official and legal purposes. For example, one major reason for searching state marriage records is to verify people's marital history. They are also used to substantiate a name change by a new wife. Additionally, these records are recognized documents to support medical and insurance benefits, social security matters, joint tax returns, adoption, immigration and many more. Certified copies of state marriage records are acceptable as proof of identity and status when claiming privileges, rights, marital assets, inheritance and even royalty.

Likewise, California divorce records are only available in the county office where the divorce decree dissolving the particular marriage by the Superior Court was issued.

These rituals, at least concerning modern weddings, include such behavior as the groom providing an engagement ring, the bride carrying a handkerchief, wearing a veil, and wearing "something blue."

So the wedding ceremony decorations and wedding ceremony music, although important to many of us, are not essential!
