A WEDDING UPDATE a letter to my cuz

About wedding plans (Jose story time…so sit back and get comfy). Well originally we were planning for June 3rd (that way I could never forget) because we had originally planned on having it up in the RIVENDALE area, so Season’s mom could come. She pretty much refuses to do any real road trip and being almost 80, I can understand. We were going to have a friend of ours, who has one of those Internet priest certificates, marry us, but he hasn’t got back to us. Well you know we wanted small service (meaning very very tiny), well Season’s mom called and pissed off Season. It went from both moms and 2 of Season’s friends being there (one because we were going to have it a the resort that her friend Jenny runs) and since other than you I having anyone else there really didn’t matter to me very much. So because you know my mom doesn’t go anywhere without my sis, we figured that my sis would come too. So when Season said this to her mom, well than it became “You know Season, you should rethink not inviting your siblings”, which turned into “We should invite some aunts and uncles”. To which my betrothed said, “If we invite one set of aunts and uncles, we’ll have to invite his aunt and uncles too”. Which, in our family at least, means that the cousins/dates/spouses/children are likewise invited. Which would than mean that we would have to invite her cousins/dates/spouses/children. So this little 8 person event becomes an almost 120 person event. That’s not including some of the few people if we had a choice we would rather have there, instead of family. You know what I mean so far? So needless to say, every time this is brought up Season just gets more and more irate (which as you know is 2 degrees past pissed). So because of this, it has turned into a let’s go to Vegas and get married there. I mean the $55 dollar license fee, no waiting period, and the fact that the license place is open 18 hours a day, makes it a very appealing idea. The only down side to this is the (total) $800 dollar plane trip/hotel room for 2 ½ days, or the $700-800 gas price to drive back and forth. So as of this moment in time (March 8, 2006) Season will be leaving early next Friday, and we’ll be heading to the State building and starting the whole marriage license thing. So after all that, we’re going to get married in a court house, we’re going to ask 2 people who are there to be our witnesses, going up to the Rivendale area on June 1st or June 2nd to the resort, stay there till the 5th, have that be our reception and our honeymoon. Again that’s of right now, that sure doesn’t mean it won’t change between now and than.
