Our original wedding date was supposed to be April 4th and is now pushed back to October 3rd. The date of the 4th is special to us because our anniversary is June 4th.

Our original wedding date was supposed to be April 4th and is now pushed back to October 3rd. The date of the 4th is special to us because our anniversary is June 4th. Since our date for the wedding got messed up we figured why not get married on our actual anniversary. At first quarantine had us butting heads so it didn’t feel like it was going to happen. Also I wanted a backyard ceremony w small luncheon afterwards, but he wanted to go to the courthouse. We compromised and got married at the County Clerk’s office. They aren’t letting people use the chapel so the ceremony would be right at their counter in the office. I had really wanted to do a backyard ceremony to decorate and make it feel special. Im actually surprised how special and meaningful the short 5min ceremony felt to us, even though office made us feel like we were at the DMV lol.


After the Clerks house everyone came over (10people). We had Carnitas, rice and beans and cheesecake and my mother in law made us a wedding cake and margaritas. And I still decorated the back yard a little with my flower garlands.

We have been together a long time and finally on our 14th year of being together we are now officially husband & wife. Despite everything that has happened in the last month im so glad we did it & especially glad our marriage certificate says June 4th.
We also got a crazy idea and went “honeymooning” in Vegas. We had a good time even with all the limitations & some things closed. We were only there for about 2days. The last few days have been perfect

    Yes I was freaking out a little because I had heard that all state buildings in downtown areas were advised to close to the public because of protests. Luckily they were still open.

    Thank you! I was so worried I was going to be late because we had to leave the house by 10:30am. I laid out all my makeup the night before and started at 7:30 & of course I still ended up rushed 😂. Kind of a preview for our church ceremony & reception in October.

    Thank you. She was so jealous on that day! She was also mad that I didn’t straighten her hair or put makeup on her. And because she didn’t wear her flower girl dress w her heels lol I tried to explain to her how important the day is for Mama & Papa and that its a small wedding in the office. And that we will have a big wedding in a few months where she can wear her big pretty dress & get her hair done. Lol the struggle of dealing w a 5 year old.

    Thank you! This is a dress I bought on lulus.com. It was a perfect dress for me because it’s something simple yet elegant to wear to our simple ceremony. My real wedding dress is a big mermaid gown with a train.
