Nostalgic Paper Memories

History. Reproduced from old originals of the 1800s and early 1900s, these certificates were once used as the actual marriage license. To commemorate the era when the minister filled in the lines by hand, your certificate can be celebrated as your heirloom. You may be young or young at heart, yet think of the things you want to give as Heirloom items and make this one of them! Several of the old certificates had a place for the photo of the bride and groom and even had a photo slot for the photo of the minister as a way of verifying the bonds of matrimony!
