License To Wed!

On Tuesday April 7, 2009, Jonathan and I drove to Norwalk. When we arrived there, we visited the Los Angeles County Register-Recorder/County Clerk office. As you can probably guess, we were there in hopes of obtaining our Marriage License. We have to do what needs to be done, to make our union legal in the eyes of the state. I kind of dislike paperwork and sitting in lines and such, but it needed to be done. Besides I’ll do whatever it takes to become the wife of Jonathan Curtis Robbins; legally and in the sight of God. I love him so much. Forever and always!



Anyway, when we got to the building, we stood in a line to get inside the place. After that, we went online to fill out a marriage license application. That part went fairly quickly. Then we waited in a line to pay for the license we had just applied for. Waiting…waiting... waiting! We got to the front of that line, and we gave the lady $70.00. She handed us a receipt to show that we had paid our dues. After that, we stood in…you guessed it, another line! This time it was to pick up our Marriage License. Again, we waited…waited…and waited some more! Lo and behold, we FINALLY got to the pickup window! We checked over the paper work, gave our signatures, and grabbed our long awaited MARRIAGE LICENCE!! Jonathan and I left with our wallets $70.00 lighter, but we were VERY HAPPY!


We are excited to have our license. It feels good to be one step closer to having our relationship be both eternally and legally binding! It feels so much more real, when it’s down on paper!! :-)
The day I thought might never come, Is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

You're getting close now! All that waiting in line sounds like such a pain. It wasn't that hard at all for me and Paul! We pretty much walked in, got the certificate, and walked out. Is it just because there are so many people in California? In any case, I'm glad you survived the lines. I hate waiting too!
