Home Life > Off to Get Married

By the time you read this we'll have pulled out of the driveway.

We almost had a major snafu. We went to get our marriage license today at the Blount County courthouse. We filled out the paperwork, and they submitted the claim on their computers. We wandered around the courthouse, looking at old photographs while the job was processed.

While we were wandering, the lights went out. We went back, and luckily our approval had come back just before the power failed. Another minute and we'd have been sunk.

Power was out across Maryville. Melissa's parents in Seymour are without power, too, though the lights were still on when we got home to Louisville.

And we haven't even gotten to New York yet. Youch. Wish us luck, and think good thoughts.
