Aside from the wind, Saturday was perfect. We got dressed up, me in my little black dress him in his red button up, and we headed down to the courthouse. My parents beat us there and waited with us while we filled out our marriage application and received our license, then we walked across the street where the Civil Marriage place was. We waiting in the lobby for the rest of his family to show up. Then we went up to the sixth floor, where I started to get a little nervous and excited and it felt so real. We waited in the ceremony room for a few minutes while the Justice of peace got the certificate ready and signed. My dad was our witness. It was really awesome for him to sign. I didn't even ask him to, I just looked at him when she called for a witness and he was by me in a matter or seconds.
Then she came into the room and asked us to stand in front with this white arch with green garland wrapped around it. She stood by the door and did her ceremony. We made the traditional vows and as he was vowing to me I was tearing up. I was about to cry. I'm not Sure how I got all the words out without sounding stupid and choky, but I did. We exchanged rings and a kiss and it was over. Five minutes tops I'd say. It was cute and awkward at the same time.
Afterwards we all went to Cheesecake Factory and caught up. We talked for hours. I enjoyed looking around the table and seeing MY family. My husband and I joined these wonderful people together and I get to call them all mine. It's an awesome feeling. I am so so so happy we waited to do this. I cherished each moment that day.
I'm so in love. I'm so happy. I'm so lucky.
