Just a normal work day; Chris and I came home from work and checked the mail box. 3 items were in there- ME of course was trying to touch all of it and "sort" through the junk. There were 2 menus to some Chinese place (CW was all about it) and a letter from the county registrar! Chris turned the envelope around with a HUGE grin on his face. I knew exactly what it was and started jumping up and down like a giddy little girl.... it was our marriage certificate! I was so elated that I had to document the moment- so I whipped out my iPhone and took a picture of Chris opening the certificate. At that very moment, I could remember the moment we went down to the county office to get the certificate and signed my name away. So Chris opens it and it says DENIED! DENIED?? Really? Apparently, {I will not mention names or INITIALS} there was a HUGE mistake on the legal document that they returned the certificate. So after 19 days of being married, our marriage certificate is in limbo. Does this mean we're not married? I asked my nearest and dearest friend if this is a sign....and she replied "Lol yes. That your BIL cannot be trusted with paperwork" DON'T LISTEN TO HER, SHE DIDN'T KNOW EITHER!... so after a few minutes of basically fuming, we have to go through this process AGAIN.... does that mean I get to wear my wedding dress again? If so, my daily wear is getting some good mileage!
All in all, I guess I cannot be mad; just sad that it's going to take an additional 19 days to get the official document indicating that I'm a Mrs. and not a Ms. At least down the road, this makes for a great story...
TO FINISH THE STORY: Over Father's Day, ADW came over to my parents house. We had the marriage license with us so we could drop it off at Mark Moser's house (our officiant). We had shown Adam the paperwork. Chris said, is this your "2" and Adam in a low voice muttered "Yes".... I was over the "fuming" and laughed about it. We had jetted over to Mark's house to get everything resigned.... when Mark said it was his fault for putting the date and scratching it out. Mark's fault.... OOPS! Sorry Adam. Mark indicated that he accidentally placed the date in the wrong field so he scratched it out. He didn't realize this was a big no no. So after all was said and all was done, I felt HORRIBLE. We drove over to the house and I apologized for my fuming! So, the moral of this story, kids is don't jump to conclusions and make yourself look like an ass like I did! Adam, I'm really sorry for blaming you and writing a post on Day 19... thank you for letting me be me and understanding- I truly am sorry!
Love you brother-in-law!!

Your Sister-in-law,
