Everyday a little bit more.

With the location, dresses and hair under way, we had a very important detail to plan.  The license to wed, as well as the person who would marry us.  Just a little bit of research on the internet and a call to a friend, and I soon realized that I did not have enough time to have a family member ordained and approved by the state of NH.  So the decision had to be made to sign the documents at city hall and have a pretend ceremony or hire a JP.  I asked a friend if she would be my pretend JP, and she referred me to a real one.  He is her very good friends father, after a not so quick call to him, he was hired.

I met with my official unpaid wedding planner and we sorted out what I had done, needed to do, needed to think about and the decorative details.  She had already studied my pinterest boards and knew what I was looking for.  She was able to ask the right questions to help me sort out what would be just right for our wedding.  She had never been to my venue and hated that she didn't know the space or layout we were working with, but...  I did my best drawing to help her understand.

Oh and the license.  This required my prince and I to make it to city hall before 5pm.  Thank you snow day! We drove to city hall with what we were hoping was the proper documentation.  The kind ladies at the city clerks office informed us... no.  YIKES, C needed a certified document declaring that his previous marriage has been dissolved.  The paperwork we had was not certified, no raised seal and all... GGGRRR.  My dear sweet man had to trek to CT to get this paper, and then we had to get back to city hall.  However, they did inform me that the neighboring town had later hours on Thursday, so we could head there once we had the paper.  This is exactly what we did on Valentine's day!  With his sweet girls in tow we had a romantic evening signing the papers to declare our intention to wed.  A perfect way to celebrate the day for lovers.

Thanks to the electronic invitations, the RSVP's were coming in daily.  People were so excited for us and were trying to make arrangements to get here.  It was all so exiting!  With just a little over a week left, I felt as if there wasn't much left to do.  Oh yeah SHOES!
