Marriage license, how long?

My fiance and I are having a last minute wedding in Kansas in 2 weeks or so. We are currently in a different state so we have to fill out the form online, How long does it take for a Kansas wedding license to be given to us? We need it before our ceremony in two weeks, will we have it in time?

The website says up to two weeks to process, has anyone gotten it sooner than 2 weeks?

So it begins…

Saw a content creator advertise both just for fans and only fans. Never had been on just for fans so wanted to check it out and got this. Law officially doesn’t go into effect until July 1st but looks like this is the 1st site that I know of with this prompt. Not having any other issues with sites I visit yet. Will see what happens in July then look to see if my computer vpn on WiFi will extend to the phone!

New License Plate Question.

My wife and I just renewed our tags for 2024 and got the paper work in the mail. Our new plates should be coming later. However what I need answered is our new plate number and tag stickers are exactly the same sequence. 100 percent identical. Everything else is correct. Our VIN’s and Info for both vehicles are correct but they have the exact plate and tag number now. Was that supposed to happen or has an error occurred with the processing?

How do you guys do it???

ETA UPDATE: I appreciate the many supportive comments from everyone. I was actually born and raised in Kansas until I was 12 and saw a tornado when I was little when we were driving while it ripped through a warehouse off the highway. I lived through and survived the deadly hurricane Harvey in TX 2017, and lived through many an earthquake in CA when I lived there and by far tornados are the scariest of natures anomaly to me!

How do you guys handle the anxiety of tornados and having cats? My two female cats are my WORLD. I just moved to kansas to be close to family in February and tonight is the first time I’ve had to violently shove them in carriers and take them to the basement. They hate carriers so it’s a violent encounter for them to fight to go in. I live with my parents right now until I get a job here in this state and they have a basement luckily. But the anxiety I have from tornado sirens. I wouldn’t be as worried about them all the time if I didn’t have my two baby girls. And when I do move out and get an apartment my anxiety and fear will be worse cause I won’t have a basement. This makes me want to leave the state.
