3. Check written out for $535
4. Documents showing our names together in one savings joint account with a local credit union - 2 joint credit card accounts
5. Document showing that I have added my wife on my health, vision, and dental issuance and that she is 100% beneficiary on my life insurance
6. Joint accounts show we share the same physical address
7. Photos and boarding passes from our trips to: Alaska, Hawaii, Chicago, Las Vegas, Reno/Tahoe, Florida - pictures showing when I proposed to her and our friends that attended, Puerto Rico, also wedding pictures from her friends' wedding, her cousins' wedding, my cousins wedding throughout 2015 to 2018
8. Wedding pictures showing her, me, her family, and my family all together.
9. Wedding cards from my family and her friends
10. Affidavits from my childhood friend, my family, a friend from college who was with us in Florida for the engagement and Puerto Rico, her sister

Should I include anything else? We're self filing.

We just opened a joint Chase credit card with a bonus of 60,000 points that we are going to save when all is said and done - finally do our honeymoon in Croatia!


***forgot to note***
Our joint bank accounts provided us with a bank statement with the same address to prove we live together - is this good enough? We dont have a lease as we are living with my folks to save for a house, which we plan to buy in 2019-2020.

***2nd edit***

Forgot to mention I provided a receipt of the proposal ring I got for her, which was a good chunk of change (my bonus).
