A GUIDE TO: PURCHASING A MARRIAGE LICENSE

2/18/2022

PURCHASING A MARRIAGE LICENSE:

In Saskatchewan, couples who want to marry must purchase a Saskatchewan Marriage License.
A marriage license is only valid for a period of three months, or 90 days. The marriage license becomes effective the day after it is purchased. Therefore, the marriage license can be purchased anywhere from one day to 90 days prior to the wedding ceremony.

The fee to purchase a marriage license is $60.

Your marriage license can be purchased in Regina, it takes minutes to complete. Both you and your partner need to be present, along with two pieces of government issued identification (one with photo identification). If you were like me and didn't have your middle name listed on your passport, be sure to bring a document that DOES list your middle name.

So, you may be wondering, what does sensitized or damaged hair look like? You may notice changes in texture such as colour-induced frizz, dullness and rough texture. Colour can fade quicker due to increased fibre porosity and hair oxidation can occur leading to unwanted red and copper tones emerging. It will behave differently too, hair that is sensitized or damaged may take longer to blow-dry and style. Informed by science, Chroma Absolu is powered by a trio of powerful healing acids that supports you and your hairdresser in keeping your colour treated hair looking healthy and its best for longer.
