Mission accomplished...

[kproche]

We now have our marriage license safely stowed away until the magic words are said on Monday.

We remembered change for the meters, so parking was not a problem, and there were only 3 couples in line when we got there (with 3 windows) so we were all finished and out before 11am.

One amusing note is the health pamphlet they are required to give to all couples (which they started doing when they stopped requiring blood tests for marriage licenses).

Over half the pamphlet is dedicated to pregnancy health issues.

I'm not complaining; healthy babies and moms are important. I'm just amused.

The clerk mentioned that she *loved* the fact that her signature was on all the licenses she'd done; she'd been waiting a long time to be able to issue such licenses.

Our congratulations from the Midwest (not all of which is underwater, BTW...).

That clerk deserves a big cheer and a happy smile every day of her working life. :-)

Well, I never meant to marry, and never bothered with that sort of thing, coz it was always just a piece of paper to me. Until I did it. So, well, might just be legal and all that, but it IS special. In a different way to any other ceremony. So, enjoy next week.

First bureaucratic hurdle crossed.

Glad to hear it was done with such a great clerk.

Congrats. I can remember how excited I was when we got ours. I know though that you guys have been waiting a lot longer than we were.

I'll be thinking of you on Monday

I just wish I could teleport over for the day and say the one bit I didn't get to before "...by the power vested in me by the State of California ..." :-)

Congrats (and much love) to you both!

Will there be kilts at the ceremony? You both have such lovely legs, and it would be a shame not to show off just a little bit ;)

Congratulations! Love to hear that. I'm getting teary just thinking about it. You guys are such a terrific couple. It is wonderful that you are able to this!

Best wishes to you both from all three of us down here!

Congrats and best wishes to you both. HOW fabulous that Ca finally got its act together to officially recognize loving relationships, regardless of whether they fit into some (stupid, misguided) people's tiny little boxes of what's "correct." Yay for you, and yay for the rest of the populace at large. About friggin' time ...

Re Monday, have a wonderful time. Take pictures. And know that we'll be lifting a glass of champagne in your honor that evening. Our very fondest wishes go with you that you have many, many more decades of married bliss to come.

(And of course, feel free to come by to join us anytime - we were thinking fondly of your mojitos the other night and wishing you were around to make us some, ha!)

Love, love, and more love -

Jay and Denisen

P.S. - Give that clerk a kiss - lovely to hear that making other people's dreams come true made her dream reality as well. Awwwww ...
