pretty simple, you have to record a deed in the county in which you live in at the recorder of deeds office at the courthouse from you individually (as grantor) to you and her as husband and wife (as grantees). You should fill in a statement of value saying the transaction is not subject to realty transfer tax as a transaction from you to you and your wife.
