"Marriage Day" pictures!!!

[Can'tHardlyWait]

Soooo... I am officially a MRS and it feels good!!! Woohoooo FI and I agreed that we would celebrate friday as our "marriage day" and then have a separate anniversary for the real wedding day. And for those of you ladies that are thinking what I was thinking, that doesn't mean 2 anniversary gifts (I already checked).

 

First, thank you to everyone who suggested I bring a camera - You were SO right! I totally thought this was going to be a no big deal, informal thing. I figured I would just come home from class, go down to city hall in whatever I was wearing, and sign some forms. I was really wrong. When I got home, FI was all fancied up in a suit! Obviously, I couldn't be showed up so I threw on a dress - lucky for me white is in season! - and we headed out the door.

 

Now, I am usually a pretty emotional person (some would say I'm a big ol' sap) but I really didn't expect to be affected by this because it was so formal and NOT romantic at all! I totally thought the whole thing would be quick - especially because all you get is a 15 minute marriage appointment with the justice of the peace. Anyway, I don't know what happened to me but when they called our names, everything changed. The minute she started talking about vows and marriage, I started to get all nervous and clammy. By the time I heard FI recite his vows... honor, love, forever... and a kiss! I was TOTALLY tearing up! And of course, I didnt get to read all the posts that suggested I bring Kleenex!!!!

 

So, all in all... I loved every minute of it and it was an amazing day that only made me look forward to my wedding day even more!

 

As for pictures - if you are wondering why my mouth is blue - well its because I thought it would be a really good idea to eat a celebratory rasberry ice cone (obviously- what could be better?) I really hope these pictures post because I have spent an hour of bar exam study time trying to figure this out!

Congratulations and great pictures!!!!

 

Was it only you two that went to the court and the person taking pics?

 

The reason I ask is because I'm having 10 friends come with us and my mom and maybe my aunt and then we are going out to dinner to have a mini celebration. LOL
