Hey ,Mrs. Robinson
That will be me after tomorrow afternoon.
Due to the fact that Kifall/Chris will not be available during the workdays after tomorrow, we're going to get married @ 2:30PM. We are going to a different county because Oklahoma County does not allow marriages by a judge anymore. It has to be a minister of some sort.
We would like to live off base, but they won't let him do that until -after- he gets married, and we only have about 6 months left to be in this state anyhow before he gets orders to report to his duty station which could be -anywhere- there is an army base set up. We are hoping for Fort Lewis in Washington State though. We could end up out of the country.
So, we're getting married. This will be a private event for us since we didn't have the luxury of knowing what would happen in the future enough to plan well ahead. If we had a schedule to be able to work around that would have been excellent, but as it is I am still very excited and a little nervous.
Afterward I will need to make a trip to the S.S. office to get a new Social Security card, so he can start it in motion so I get my military I.D., set up with his insurance and all that.
I told my mom and she really wanted to go, but I said no. Simply because I don't want anyone to feel left out because -anyone- else was there. If she went, my stepdad would go and my biological dad would be upset and then it would domino to pretty much everyone else I know.
No thanks.
........................................................
My mom also wants me to have separate receptions thrown for us.
1. Her, her family and my step-family
2. My friends
3. My Dad's family
I vote NO.
That is too much work for something that can be done in one event. I know exactly why she wants to do that too. SHE has a problem with my friends(OMG THE GAY D:) but that is no reason to try and segregate everyone -I- care about because of her personal feelings. I'd also like to be able to invite Chris's family (what? the GROOM? WHO? MARRIED INTO A FAMILY? WHA?) because they should have an opportunity to come to something as well, AT LEAST know that we thought of them and invited them. Her suggestion is absolutely inefficient. She's suggested this to me at least twice before regarding this and I've said the SAME THING. We are having ONE Reception. END.
Sometimes she upsets me greatly. :|
Chris informed his mom and his dad.
I haven't told my dad. He missed a lot of my life and still tends to think of me as this little girl. I don't think he'd respond too well. I will tell him tomorrow though.
Mainly we need to get the legal part over with, I just want to know: Who else has gotten married and had a reception or ceremony much later? As in a reception maybe a little over a month down the line to give anybody that wants to enough time to get off work if need be and make plans to attend. I am a fan of pot luck gatherings, so basically I would like to have some food platter type snacks, but also request that the guests cook or bring something to eat, drinks,plastic ware, and paper towels/napkins. I'd prefer that over other marriage gifts. I just want everyone to be able to eat and have a good time.
We need to not go broke at the very beginning of our life together.
We are considering possibly renewing our vows at some point and planning a more traditional wedding.
I haven't had my dress cleaned D:, I will get it cleaned for our marriage reception, whenever we set a date for that. I need to design some invitations.
Oh, btw. Chris looks incredible in his tux, today/yesterday he got his rental and he modeled the tux and tie/bow tie to see which looked best. The bow tie looked better. Quite dashing. I will see if I can prod someone there into taking photos of us tomorrow.
Also, I need to go to bed so I can partially braid my hair back in the morning and attempt to not look wild when we take this plunge together.
