Researching our local marriage license application process, I learned that once issued, the license is good for 90 days. Sensibly enough, I counted back from our wedding date (because apparently I cannot perform the months-to-days conversion in my head?) to see how soon we could safely apply, just to have it out of the way…
… and discovered that we can apply this week. That’s right — it’s less than 100 days away.
Uh. We may have some errands to run and tasks to complete, say, every single day between now and then.

Uh yeah. Wedding prep is exhausting.
I swear, if I ever get married, it is courthouse all the way and nothing else.
Jane, I can recommend eloping. JM and I had about a day’s preparation (license, minister, attire) and that was it, full steam ahead. I’ve tried to get Elsa and D to elope to Australia, but alas, it is not to be.
The Fella and I talked about eloping. By which I mean, I talked and The Fella nodded and smiled and gently dissuaded me.
I also suggested we have the marriage performed at City Hall with just our parents as witnesses, then meet friends for a party nearby. He nodded and smiled and said no.
It’s important to him to say our vows in front of our family and friends. Though I’m a little shy about the vows (which feel private to me), it’s important to me that we celebrate with the people we love. Turns out we love a lotta people, phew!
