Marriage License...

Yesterday Laura and I got our marriage license and it was a pretty interesting experience. We parked at the corner of Third and Clark and as soon as we got out of our car a couple of guys came up to us and asked us if we were getting our marriage license. I thought these guys were greeters for the Marriage Bureau so I eagerly announced “Yes we are.” Well, before I even finished the word yes they were handing us materials on chapels to get married in. We must have been solicited at least 5 times by guys trying to sell us on drive thru chapels. It was like the guys who hand out the adult material on the strip, funny, but also bazaar.

Once inside, we waited in line for about 30 minutes and it literally took 5 minutes to get the license completed. While in line we were surround by couples who were dressed in the tuxes and wedding gowns - ready to grab their license and get married in the next 30 minutes. The entire line had this feeling of excitement that we were waiting to make it official with our significant others.

One week to go!!!!!!!
