Marriage Licenses & Last Suppers!

Well, not exactly the Last Supper EVER--just the last dinner-date out together before we become husband and wife!

After we got off work today, Galen mentioned that since we'll be traveling to Los Angeles for the wedding soon, this was our last evening together in San Francisco before we got married. So of course, we had to celebrate that in style. :)

We treated our broke little selves to an awesome dinner at Houston's, a restaurant we love but can rarely shell the cash out for. Here we are waiting for a table:



















But way before dinner--early this morning, in fact--we celebrated something else: our Marriage License!

After a looooong early-morning drive down to San Mateo, we walked into City Hall, stood in line, raised our right hands and solemnly swore...whatever it was they asked us to swear, and after a few minutes, a couple signatures, and a hefty little fee, we walked out with this:















Woo hoo! We're legal and official!

But the fun doesn't end there--when I got into work later that morning (my last day before the wedding), this was waiting for me in the Teacher's Lounge (well, without the missing slice!):















Isn't that sweet?

More crafts and a wedding gift! :)

We're officially down to the single digits!!!

With 9 days left, I found myself extremely physically/mentally tired, and it really showed in my face (picture below for proof).

Sitting down in front of a stack of paper and constructing more decor flowers zapped me of even more energy!

But I was able to perk up a little bit when I saw a certain little box with a certain little treat inside--we'd received another wedding present!

:)

Thanks, Ms. Florine!





Three stacks of paper, two sets of steady hands, and one friend's help...

...and you've got your *wedding crafts* under way!

With the help of a certain multi-talented friend/groomsman/wedding singer (yes--he really is all those things), I was able to get started on the D-I-Y crafts I'll be doing for the wedding.

Our good friend Louie came over to our place Thursday night to help me with my reception place cards by blessing them with his AMAZING calligraphy skills!

Thanks, Luis!!!

While he beautified the names of our wedding guests, I got to work on my paper flowers (since, due to severe floral allergies, I can't have the real thing!).

Check it out!
