Ohh ring shopping! Thats wonderful! Now get off this computer and go cuddle or something!!!
So, girls this is going to be long and rambly, forgive me ... David and I have had our first real talks about getting married (eek!), and I am feeling depressed and stressed by the whole thing - here's the deal: I EARN vacation time at work (.83 days for each month worked), and I calculated how much I would have by the time May rolls around and planned my trip to England for that length. Now that we are having these talks, its going to require another trip and I dont have the time to take! So, we thought about Easter weekend since I happen to get Good Friday off - it would be a super quick trip, but we would be seeing eachother again in a few weeks after that, so it would be ok. BUT heres the problemo with that: We are both pretty sure that we dont feel like its the best thing to do to get married in Colorado (we feel like it would be done right under my family's noses since they would not be included since there will be no ceremony or anything to be included in). Somehow it seems better to go somewhere else and then come back and be like "hey, guess what??" Does that make sence to anyone else?
So... the plot thickens - all the other places we were considering have 24 hour wait periods between when you get your license and when you can actually marry and we dont have that time! We were looking for somewhere on the East coast so that his flight wouldnt be super long and somewhere he could fly non-stop. We would get in on a Thursday, and need to do the whole deed on Friday before leaving on Sunday!! (New York does have a waiver that you can be granted to get married on the same day, but I cant find any information about what situations warrant this waiver being granted...) So, now I am thinking that in order to do this, I am going to have to cancel my trip to England in order to use the vacation time elsewhere, which would basically mean that I probably wouldnt go back to England until I move there and I dont like the thought of that.
However, there are a few options left over:
a) Las Vegas, but thats a VERY long flight for him.
b) Miami, Toronto have no waiting periods, but the flights for both of us are very expensive
c) Do it in Colorado and find a way to explain to my family why we got married 20 miles from them, but didnt even invite them to the courthouse
d) Wait until after my trip (which wouldnt be until September b/c of my work load in the Summer).
Any options you think I may have overlooked? Am I stressing for the sake of stressing and because I am secretely afraid that if we wait, he will get over this lovely thing has come over him and he will stop talking about it??
