Once upon a time (last week) a couple went to get their marriage license. And in the beautiful northwoodsy area where they live they are on the border of 2 states (2 counties). They went to get the license from the county where they live. And realized once there with their application, that they were supposed to get the license from the state they're getting married in.
There was worry about the delay it might cause and wanting to get it taken care of. So the groom joked "why don't we just get married here today and the legal stuff will just be taken care of?" The bride giggled and said "why not!" And so they went and talked to the judge - whom the bride graduated high school with and knew him since she was 15. Lol And they caught up in his office where he said he'd be thrilled to marry them! As they got ready they giggled about the circumstances of it all, and the couple loved that his office had Packers stuff everywhere. 💚💛
They then walked into the courtroom and with the words said by the judge. Tears on their faces. They each said "I do". Their witnesses were the secretary clerk of the judge and the court bailiff. 😁
A selfie photo was taken for all posterity:
And they forever have a very funny story to tell. And 2 anniversaries!
The end ❤️
*Isn't that hilarious? So technically we are legally married. It doesn't feel fully real though as this weekend my Cousin officiating will bring Jesus more to the party. And we will say the vows we wrote together. And we will have the rings there (we didn't at the courthouse) and they will be blessed. And the main thing - our people will be there. So we will cry and have grateful hearts Saturday and truly feel married then. I wasn't going to share this story until later - but I thought you'd all get a kick out of it.
Today we head to the venue, couples massage, relaxation and joy in our hearts for all that is to come this weekend. Annie and other family and friends start coming into town tonight. I had a lovely chat with my ex and he wished us well and we chatted about our kiddos etc. It was really nice. I feel blessed to be loved by 2 wonderful men in my life and the goodness of God. I think I could skip to the venue - I have such joy in my heart!
Thank you for letting me share my life here Friends and being part of the community of my life that I love. You will all be there with me as I'll carry you in my heart too. 💗💗💗
Blessings always. xoxo
