It's Really Happening!

Today I took a long lunch from work to meet Mike downtown- time to get our marriage license!

This was the first time I felt a little tinge of anxiety. Not bad anxiety, just a bit of realization that it's really happening. You spend all this time wondering who you'll marry, how they'll propose, what your wedding might be like, and then all of the sudden, you go to probate court, swear you aren't drunk or cousins and it's real.

And I know I'm not alone in this sentiment, but pretty soon I'll be changing my name. Changing my identity. I love being identified with my family, my name is easy to spell and pronounce and it will be weird to be a different version of my same self.

It also feels so raw because Mike picked up my wedding band earlier this week!

In any case, it was a quick process. Everyone at the courthouse was exceptionally helpful, and now we can tie the knot any time we want!
