    do we need a marriage certificate for 1st landing....

    If I remember correctly, they state in the visa letter that you should bring some of the originals because IO might ask for them. In my case they never asked for those documents, but you will want to bring your marriage certificate. You will use it for so many other things like filing for taxes...
