", it’s the signing of the marriage license in the presence of witnesses. The night before our wedding, our clergyman had us sign the paper and then jokingly said, “Technically, you’re legally married, so if you wanted to run off now, your marriage would be valid.”’

He’s right and unfortunately not joking–but I certainly wouldn’t be happy if someone did that to me (can you sue?)–I think you might need those extra 24 hours…
hate to think someone decides to call it all off only to find themselves already married without any “I do’s”.
