License to Wed

The invites are out and we are receiving RSVP's in the mail.. Little Scary... I am starting to feel like George Banks in Father of the Bride...Who can we ask not to eat?? MMM....jk.. Matt came back for the long weekend so we could go to the lake one more time. Since he was here and we had plenty of time we decided to go and get the marriage license. You have to get it at LEAST 3 days before the big day and knowing us we would completely forget until the day before. That means that Matt and I would be running around trying to find a judge to waive the three days and they wouldn't because they would witness me swearing up a storm, Matt Sweating and my lovely white trash everyday sweats I am wearing these days and I don't think that would help us get the three days waived.....so instead of that situation we though we should just be responsible and get the license well in advance!

Well when you go and get the license you have to have a witness who knows both of you, and since Dad was at his Ida Grove Office that day he was our witness. Of course he made us take pictures and document the getting of the license....


Dad Getting Caught "Bribing" Matt


Me, The Ida County Recorder, and Matt... The First Step in Legalizing Matt as the official Trash Taker-Outer and Me as the official trash creator (you need to compliment each other)

So I guess it is really official. Invites are out, the License has been obtained...now it is a lot of last minute stuff. Mom and I have been doing wedding stuff everyday.. and it is never ending!! I do NOT have the bride gene..I have the delegate gene...But since we did nothing for this wedding until after the bar the wedding details are quite annoying. Where is Fronk when you need him!!

Plus since I work so hard.. (I bar tend about 15 hours a week folks, I am in the big time) I enjoyed my labor day by eating lots of good food and did some damage to my wedding bod..but damn those margaritas, cheddar wursts, smores and cookies were worth every god damn weight watcher point that I didn't count.. F. Oh and my wedding dress is in and I will be trying it on on Wednesday...so basically I am going to drink chicken broth, ice water, run, and sit in the sauna for the next two days...I am not good at timing my pig outs..

Yesterday Libba was kind enough to take some Engagement Pics of Matt and I. I can't wait to see them. I know they are going to be fabulous because she is so freaking talented..I will make sure and post a couple when we get them! Hope everyone is Well!
