Default We're legally married!!

UPDATED WITH PICS!! See post #25.

Tuesday afternoon, I guess Isaac and I didn't have enough to do, or maybe he'd forgotten to get me a birthday present, but we decided to go ahead and get legally married on my birthday, which was on Thursday! I hazard to guess that this will be my most memorable birthday ever! Now we just have to get through the next couple weeks until we can have our wedding.

By the way, has anyone ever thought about how strange it sounds when you tell people that you're getting married, going on your honeymoon, then having your wedding?

Congrats!! Do you feel relief like one major part of the planning/wedding is done?

We are doing the same thing, getting married at the court house here next Monday. We're not telling any of our guests though.

We had actually gotten our marriage license a few weeks ago, so we just took it to his dad's house and had a friend marry us. We're not telling a ton of people, so I'm not quite sure yet what to say when people ask what I did for my birthday!

Congratulations! I know exactly what you mean, some people were thrown off when I told them. They were well aren't you going to Cabo?
