So it's official! The great state of California has given Jeremiah and I the permission to get married! We have our marriage license!!


It was kind of a hassle, though. I applied online a few weeks ago through the county website. The next day Jeremiah and I went after work to pay and pick it up. Apparently we got in line 10 minutes too late so they said we had to come back! That meant we had to wait another 2 weeks for Jeremiah's next Friday off so we could be there in time. So, yesterday I got off work a bit early and we went down to the county recorder's office. We stood in line, got all the way up to the window and the lady couldn't find our online application in her system! Apparently they get erased every 2 weeks. So we had to go fill out another application and get back in line. Finally we get up to the window, turn in the application and pay. Once it was filed we had to wait over an hour for it to be ready. So we left and had some lunch, came back, got BACK in line and had to wait forrrrrever! FINALLY we got up to the window, the lady had us check the document to make sure there were no errors and we each signed it. Then she had us hold up our right hand and she made us swear that everything was true and blah blah blah. After that she presented us with our marriage license, told us what to do with it after the wedding and said "Congratulations!" THE END!!! =) =)
