Don't forget to change your name!

A Facebook friend of mine put out a nice reminder of all the places you'll want to change your name to avoid issues after you get married!  Here's the link she posted to:

They're little things that you might not have thought of before the wedding.

The other thing to be sure of is to get your marriage license more than five days before the wedding.  In Minnesota, you have a five day waiting period before you can retrieve your license (they might even mail it to you, so it could take even longer than that).  Hennepin County lets  you pick it up right away, but you can't use it for five days.  Dakota County lets you do it online, which is nice, but you'll still have the waiting period.  The nice thing is, in Minnesota, that you aren't bound to applying for your license by where you live or where you will be getting married.  If you're taking a honeymoon right after the wedding, you'll have to apply for the name change months before you get married so that it has time to be changed before you leave.  You don't want to be detained by customs on your way to your romantic getaway...that would be embarrassing.
