Marriage License

[SunnyCait]

:biggrin2:

The love of my life (no, not Katherine Heigl) and I applied for a marriage license. We'll be picking it up Wednesday.

They certainly made it hard enough for us! This is a small, rural town, not very diverse or openminded. They "lost" the papers twice. TWICE. This time we were on them, calling every day. I think once they realized that we were serious and we weren't just going to NOT do it, they got their stuff together. No I do not believe for one second that they actually LOST the papers. When I have them in my hands I will feel very relieved!!

We're not sure when we'll actually be married, but we have the papers. It's only valid for 3 months, of course. If you're wondering why we don't know and still got the license, it's because she has a stupidly busy schedule that changes constantly. We're not having an actual ceremony for a while because of this. We're taking the first opportunity we have to get the license signed and turned in, though. We'll be married before the actual ceremony, much to the dismay of a few family members, but what can we really do? It's easier this way for us. We simply want to be married, and not worry about organizing a huge deal at this point in time, with our lives so crazy and busy.

Anyway! YAYYYY!

Congrats! And I'm sure the love of your life is much prettier than any Katherine Heigl.

Congratulations!! I got married 1 week after I got my license and then the ceremony was 4.5 months later. I had a world of pain and difficulty with my "marriage/engagement" period because of family, but you know what, looking back on it a year later, it's all about what is right for you and your love. Wish you two much happiness!

Oh, WONDERFUL!! I'm happy to hear that it's coming through for you guys!! Way to push through adversity!! My huge congratulations to you both!

:toast:

And I'm so so sad to hear that people can be so closed-minded about things. It's really unfair, and really hypocritical...and makes me SO ANGRY! How would they like it if they had people stopping them from true love and happiness?!

Hugs to you and your love!!

Hey congrats! That's awesome. Sorry to hear the people at the registry office (or whatever it's called?) are being doofuses. I'm getting married next summer and all the big floofy weddings kind of freak me out. They're beautiful, but seem so incredibly stressful. We haven't decided where we'll actually have the ceremony (which will be short and simple, no bridesmaids or anything, plus we aren't at all religious), most likely at a fancy french restaurant. We're going to then just have dinner with our families at the restaurant. There will be from 20-30 people there. It's going to be so nice, no worrying about caterers, DJs, professional photographers, renting stuff... You could always do something like this, it won't take too much planning if you keep it relatively small and don't worry about decorations or anything since your lady is so busy. Good luck and let us know when you get married!

PS... I just noticed how similar in style our usernames are!

I think maybe.

Thanks everyone! Yes, the stupid people there are stupid. I get tired of the attitudes around here and I used to get really upset, until I realized, what do they know? Most of them are divorcees ofstraight marriages. What do they know?

I'm afraid I have to look forward to a big floofy wedding, as that's what she wants. And I'll do whatever it is she wants me to do, because that's my job, haha. I'm like you though, I'd rather it be something small and with little fanfare. But what she wants she gets LOL.

And haha! Our usernames are similar in style! It's because we're cool.

WOAH someone is incredibly fine! :shock2:

 

[NorthernAutumn]

Whoa... beautiful girl!

*ahem.. shuffles:biggrin2:*

All my very very very best to you both! Love conquers all....bureaucrats!

 

[SunnyCait]

I think she's one of the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen in real life, haha. She's absolutely gorgeous and I adore her.

And thank you! I do believe it does.

 

[CKGS]

See I knew she was beautiful! Lucky you for having her and lucky her for having you! Congratulations and Good Luck in your upcoming married life together!

 

[Spring]

Congrats to both of you! How exciting! Wish you both a long happy marriage full of love and adventure!

She is a beautiful girl. Do you have a picture of the 2 of you?

 

[maherwoman]

Wow...she is definitely more beautiful...and I'm so happy for you both!!

:bunnydance::bouquet:congratulations to you both! it's your wedding and your future life together, not your respective families. i am, however, not seeing mention of any rabbits in the bridal party.....im sure MJ would look lovely with a pink ribbon.

ive now got a mental picture of a cake with two bunnies on the top tier instead of the happy couple

 

[mouse_chalk]

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you both! She is gorgeous, as well- what a beautiful picture!

It sucks that they gave you such a tough time getting the papers sorted, but like you said- what do they know? I wish you both much happiness together

Donna- don't joke about the bunny cake-toppers- I have been seriously considering that! Either that or naming the tables after the bunnies, or something.... Gotta get them in there somewhere! :craziness

what about bunny shaped place name cards????? or a little net bag - bonboniere? - filled with bunny shaped chocolates. it's going to be fun seeing just how you and kate include your bunnies into your happy day

Congratulations! I didn't realize that Iowa was such a progressive state. I'd love to see a picture of the two of you also.
