Formerly out, now in, thanks to the good folks in Yreka

After much thought & deliberation, we decided to get married in our home state. We drove to Yreka and had a delightful experience. Everyone at the County Clerk's office was very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make it a good experience for us.

In some ways it feels like announcing that we got new power-of-attorney forms signed, so the congrats feel weird. But, the folks who put in a lot of time & effort to make it possible definitely deserve the congratulations.

So delighted to hear that you officially have in laws instead of outlaws. Congratulations!!! I have no idea why, but I tear up every time I am able to say this to my friends who have gotten married!

you crazy kids, rushing out of state to elope. I so wanted to see you in that wedding dress and now my hopes are ruin.

yay for you both, I'm very happy for ya!

The only problem with the quickie wedding was that I didn't get to register anywhere for gifts. But where does one register for "World Peace" and "Random acts of Kindness"? They must have those at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, right?

funny thing is you don't really do quickies any way, at least from what I remember ;)

I think you can get whirled peas at walmart but not sure about random acts of kindness... unlikely...

Congratulations!

Really, Mark is the one who should be congratulated (or committed) for putting up with me.

Congratulations. We will be joining the ranks in September with a little trip to New York state.
