Ok, so most people here don't know this, so I'm going to let you in on a little secret:
When Doorlink and I were married several years ago, it was done by the county clerk down at the courthouse. Just me, her, and some (very nice) assistant clerk in a room which also contained a photocopier and a coffee pot. Not the most romantic setting in the world, but legal, so what the heck...
The problem? She and I both work at religious institutions that don't recognize civil ceremonies as the best of all possible arrangements.
The solution? An actual ceremony. In, like, an actual church. With a religious official officiating. Who'd have thunk it? I still think the roof will fall in when I walk in there, but we're going to find out. On Saturday. Whoa! There's even gonna be a reception. And then a week of vacation. In Bolongo bay, of all places:
.
.
Anyway, wish me luck! Or, maybe you should send her a note of condolence...
Thanks,
Bill
