Hey, do we get to see wedding pictures? How was the ceremony? Did you or are you going to have a reception to celebrate?

Congrats! Pax. Dear rain, my friend called me and told me the news said we haven't had more than two days of sun in a row since late September. Enough already, the flood warnings on my weather channel app every day would be kinda funny if it wasn't June. Dear brother in law,next time we all go on vacation please bring your own chef, maid,and nanny. I am none of those things and am not responsible for you or your childrens hungriness,cleanliness,or happiness,especially when I'm on vacation. I love my nieces and nephews but I'm done. No one else should have to clean up your kids projectile vomiting and thanks again for the stomach flu.I know this is an annual family trip but next year I think we are staying home.

The pics in the courtroom didn't come out too well, it was kinda dark in there. But here we are waiting to go in (I'm the tall one )



And here we are at our "reception" afterward (aka lunch with our closest friend).

Yay Pax! I love your reception! If I had to do it all over, that's the reception I would have.

Congratulations again!!!!

Great pictures, and I like your reception--low key, and with beer!


Dear bike computer--
You suck. I look at you the wrong way, and you reset and eat all my numbers. At least you didn't eat the odometer numbers this time...
I'll be replacing you with something less prone to interference and more user-friendly when the budget allows...

Brilliant! Congratulations again!

DH and I eloped and got married at the courthouse and had dinner at a schmancy restaurant, just the two of us, so I can relate.

Yay!

Similar story here. DH and I were married by my oldest friend in the "parlor" of a bed and breakfast. Then the three of us went to a nice dinner, followed by cake and champagne at the bed and breakfast. I lack the "bridal" gene and DH was fully supportive of something simple. I have ZERO regrets about it. I'm pretty sure we've spent the money we saved on bikes!!!

We had a similar, but slightly bigger wedding with 20 people, including ourselves. We had the rabbi come to our apartment, set up a portable chuppah and do the ceremony. My parents provided champagne and appetizers right after, and then we took everyone (it was almost all our immediate family/siblings) to dinner at a restaurant on the top of the tall (10 story?) bank building in downtown Mesa, AZ. They had a little cake for us there. Afterwards, we all went into the lounge for dancing.
I sort of lack the bride gene, too. We regretted not including our friends, though. We splurged a little more on our kids' Bar Mitzvahs, but nothing outrageous; luncheon at a nice restaurant, DJ, dancing. We had 50 at the first one and 100 at the second.

Yay Pax and Mrs Pax!!!

Kit and I had the opportunity a few years ago to do the same. I happened to have the Friday off during the week they made it legal here in OR. It was originally supposed to start Jan 1 but it got held back for a bit in order to fulfill the required amount of political posturing that was proper and apparently necessary for something as constitutional as civil rights. So, Feb 8th, 2008, we headed over to the courthouse, got our paperwork, found out we needed a notary and... they don't provide those there. We called a friend who's a notary, she was elated that she could do that for us so we were back on track. We headed back to the courthouse just to find out that they don't take CC or ATM cards, only cash. We found an ATM down the street because, of course, they don't provide one of those either. (oh, we had to empty our pockets over and over for the security xray too.) Headed back to the courthouse and were #52 in our county. There were a few waiting behind us as well that day. The lady at the desk was very nice the whole time and wished us well. She asked if there was anything else as we were finishing up and I said "What, no rice?"


Good luck and I hope you two work out. Personally, I think you should have waited until you got to know one another a little bit better. 8,000 or so dates may not be enough. Just sayin'.

Love to you both!

~Kit and X
