通過仔細研究，找到了打敗中方人士刁難的武器。

關鍵是在於中方人士沒有了解英語的Marriage License和Marriage certificate的區別。讓他們翻譯這一段：

What's the difference between a "marriage license" and a "marriage certificate"?

A marriage license is a piece of paper that authorizes you to get married and a marriage certificate is a document that proves you are married.

Typically, couples obtain a marriage license, hold the wedding ceremony, and then have the person who performed the ceremony file a marriage certificate in the appropriate county office within a few days. (This may be the office of the county clerk, recorder or registrar, depending on where you live.) The married couple will be sent a certified copy of the marriage certificate within a few weeks after the marriage ceremony.

摘自 http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/marriage-requirements-licenses-ceremonies-faq-29142-3.html

License是證明你可以結婚，Certificate是證明你在婚姻中。

你們county的結婚證書是把結婚license和結婚certificate設計在一張紙上的，你們結婚後主婚人在上麵簽字了，marriage certificate 就生效了。

你的證書上指的是license在多少天內有效，沒有說certificate會失效。你在license 規定期限內結了婚（有日期為證）所以你是在婚姻中。
