The official word...

...we got our license today! 

It was a lovely day-- we started out doing chores (rented a sander for the kitchen floor) but then cleaned up, headed to Piccadilly Fish & Chips (soooooooo good) and then went to City Hall.  The process felt pretty impersonal and I was afraid the clerk was going to kick us out or reject us, but it went pretty smoothly (although don't expect to get in exactly when your appointment time is-- we had about a 30 minute wait, even though we showed up 10 minutes early).

After we had the paperwork, we ran a quick errand and then headed up to see the Rev. who is now marrying us-- it was very cool.  She was very easy to talk to and seemed to genuinely take the tme to get a sense of who we were-- which given the amount of personalization we've been trying to put into our event, the personal touch with the ceremony and officiant was very important.  I left feeling very relieved that things will go well, whatever may happen.

The water pitchers arrived.  Yesterday, 48 vases arrived (24 are still on their way) and I got some shoes I ordered online (non wedding related) too... it's now feeling like Christmas every day!  I'm hoping that tomorrow I can make some big progress on a few of the remaining craft tasks!  My fiance's coworker is hosting a crafting get-together (and sushi party) and I'm totally excited for it.1

More on the progress later...
