We have a Wedding Date

Dennis and I got engaged and purchased our rings in September. In January, we discovered that the St. Charles County Courthouse has a Shotgun Wedding Policy. Today, we learned that we can have our wedding when we had been hoping for!

In the spirit of my other Blog, I figured I'd just post the emails about it.

Yeah, in the morning if they've got it. That's why we were waiting until March... and it is not quite March yet :)

Yes, I am excited. Yes I told everyone I’ve bumped into, and asked for those days off from Byron when I told him.
