I got married − 1 January, 2007

On January 1st 2007 I married my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years, Shaun.
We found a really cute little officiant who performed a cute little ceremony. It was really comfortable. In the middle of the ceremony he paused for photos. The whole thing was awesomely laid back, stress-free, and perfect. My parents, Shaun's parents and my big brother attended. It was small, non-traditional and everything we were hoping for.

We ordered the rings from Amazon.com a few weeks before and they came on Dec. 26th. We hadn't done any planning at all at that point. I started looking in the phone book and found a promising ad for a Rev. Paul Horn (I highly recommend him if you're in the Tulsa, OK area, look him up!) On Friday, Dec. 29th, we went to the courthouse to get a marriage license. It was $50 and we had it in under 10 minutes. We don't have a phone so we went to Shaun's parents house, luckily no one was there! We called the number for Rev. Horn and he told us to come right over for an interview. By 5pm we had put his fee (another $50) into an envelope, handed him our marriage license and made an appointment for January 1st at 2pm. Now we just had to tell our parents! That night my mom took me to work and we told her when she came to pick me up. She squeaked. We told Shaun's parents the next day on our way home from visiting family in Oklahoma City. That was pretty much the end of any worry and planning beyond going through my clothes and deciding what to wear. I think we planned the perfect wedding with incredible speed.
