This morning I had a bit of a stress-out about the wedding. It's a wonderful thing and there are many times I find myself in tears of happiness over it all, but this morning it felt like a conglomeration of lists, tasks, and a lot of money spent on a single day, in a world where people eat dirt for dinner. "We started off wanting it simple," I said. "How did we get away from that?" City Hall, why did we not just go to City Hall?

Then we went down to City Hall to get the marriage license. There were people in wedding finery getting married right there at the counter. It seemed really anticlimactic. I now understand a little better why we're doing it as we are.
