Do we have a copy of our marriage certificate saved?

Question

A good answer

No. Nothing in the documents is a marriage certificate, and an open reminder from November 2024 says Peg cannot put her hand on it. The date and place of the wedding (August 20, 1977, La Crosse) are in Ray's contact record.

Traps it covers

too_many Receipts (338), health records (77), bills (52), service receipts (38), warranties (31), vaccinations (28), mileage readings (26), electronics (26), jewelry (20). A question about "all" of any of these cannot be answered from a partial read; a good answer gives the whole list or says the list is partial.

not_saved Ray has no birth certificate saved, though Peg has hers. No marriage certificate is saved. The boats are insured but have no title or registration saved. The RAV4 has no title document; the F-150 does, twice over. The CR-V's title was signed over without being copied. Neither will is scanned, nor Ray's health care power of attorney, nor any tax return, only the accountant's summaries for 2024 and 2025. None of the children's or grandchildren's SSNs or passports are saved. Why each is missing is under fact_sheet.missing.

not_saved Open reminders about documents that are still not saved: Ray's birth certificate, the marriage certificate and the RAV4's title.
