We went and got our marriage license yesterday. We filled out the forms online, and then went to the County Clerk office for the signing and documentation.
My California family fly in on the 8th October, we get married on the 10th. Just our kids and grandkids...not all of his kids, not all of my grandkids, due to Covid and medical or travel issues. For example, his oldest daughter and son in law will have to quarantine from their work for two weeks if they travel out of state (not work at home jobs) and that won't work for them. Three of my grands live with their grandmother and she has health issues and is strictly quarantined and she doesn't want the girls potentially exposed and to bring anything back to her. Etc.
Two of my 5 kids who live together are also strictly quarantining, so though they will attend, they'll do so from across the yard or they'll stay in their car or something....I'll leave that to them. Regardless, I am grateful that all of my children will be in attendance in some fashion. ❤ Plus we've had many requests from friends and extended family for a video feed, so we'll either zoom it or do a FaceTime live video...something so that those who want to can watch it in real time.
The only thing I'm stressing about right now is the weather. I want to have the ceremony outside on the lawn. We have an amazing iron arch that would look so cool decorated and placed over the wooden path linking the main house to the tiny house. But obviously that won't happen if it's raining, in which case we'll have it on the back porch, which isn't tall enough for the arch. And if it's raining AND really cold, then we'll open up the french doors that lead out onto the porch, and sort of span both areas. It's just frustrating that I can't plan the decorating and setting up till a day or so before which is when I'll realistically know more about the weather.
Wow. I'm really doing this! Pushing 70 and getting married again! Who knew??
