Well..it happened. Standing next to a very tall handsome man on a cool winter day, I raised my right hand and repeated words after the county clerk employee. We answered many questions and signed on the dotted line. The result..we have our marriage license and can now legally and officially get married! This picture is us at the Henry County court house just after we received that piece of paper.
We are closing in on the one month mark away from the wedding. Time has really flown by. We have received wonderful words of advice from many friends and family. Here are a few that a co-worker printed off for me that I thought were funny.
“Spend all of your time loving instead of going to work.” --Tom, Age 7
“Don’t forget your wife’s name..That will mess up the love.” - -Erin, Age 6
“Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash.” - -Randy, Age 8
Here are more words of wisdom we have received:
“Never go to bed angry”
“Hold hands as much as possible”
“Kiss for at least 20 seconds each day”
“Compromise is key in marriage”
“Always be a forgiver”
“Make a choice to love each other each and every day.”
“Make God your number one priority.”
We look forward to putting those suggestions to good use. If you have any positive words of advice to add, please do. I’ll put them in our wedding book.
