I read it someplace and it seems that a bond was paid to insure the marriage was done, sometimes people would get a license and then not get married, also I was wondering if a bond is to insure that something will take place, why don't they give the money back after the thing is done ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 6:49 PM Subject: Re: [ALJEFFER] Researching death certificates &marriagelicensesinJefferson C... | Can anyone define exactly what the "bond" means? | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
