We're Married!!!

Oh My God! We got married today!! In our livingroom! By a JP!

Thursday, we found out that if I were to apply for a Visa on my own, I would not be considered a military spouse once I arrived in the UK to meet Keith, therefore I would not have any of the rights or privileges of one. This was not an option at all for either of us. So marriage it is! Oh My God!

Friday, I applied for our marriage license. It would be ready in 5 days - Tuesday February 27th. I called a JP, Mrs. Kimberlie Bell and she was happy to marry us that Tuesday evening at our place, 6pm.

I picked up our marriage license this afternoon! It says we're getting married???? Keith & I!?? I don't understand? We seem to have missed a few steps!

It was perfect! Aimee, one of my closest girlfriends who's known me longer than anyone else (since we were babies) was my witness, and Jamie was Keith's. My oldest brother Matthew was also there. We stood in the middle of our livingroom, held hands, and said our vows. It is still surreal as I think back on it. No rings were exchanged and my name has not changed. We are saving this for the day we have a wedding. Although I am very proud to be Mrs. Keith Esliger.

After we completed the paperwork, George & Julia arrived and the 7 of us went out for dinner at The Vines to celebrate. When we returned home, I called my grandparents to tell them we got married!
