One Step Closer


Today we got our Marriage License! Yahoo!

Ok... so it's not a huge deal. You drive 30 miles to Oakland, pay for parking, walk 3 blocks, fill out paperwork, get called by number, write a $84 dollar check... and boom.... you have a license. You even get a souvenir one just for kicks. Basically it's a piece of paper that needs to be signed by another person saying you have committed to be married under the law of California. But to us... so so fun! We smiled the whole time. Laughed... held hands... kissed... like it was some movie or something. When we finally got back in the car... we shot this pic... and left Oakland. A dear journey... all for a piece of paper. But heck... it made us feel one step closer. :)
