I guess I got real lucky when I married my wife, now of 20 years. To start with, I graduated college, and got married...on the same day!
Since we were both college students, and parents couldn't help out, we decided to get married by the swimming pool of our apartment complex. We bought 30 pounds of chicken, a bunch of corn on the cob...and oh, a couple trash cans full of beer. We had a local preacher come over to perform the ceremony.
In Texas, thunderstorms just kinda form right over you...and you guessed it, we got a doozy...just as the food was ready to be served. So, everyone piled into our little 1 bedroom apartment to eat, and drink...and to seemingly, never leave.
When we finally ran out the last of our guests, it was 3am...and our flight out for our honeymoon was at 8am. Well, we figured that 30 pounds of chicken bones might get kinda "ripe" by the time we returned home in a week, so we set about to cleaning the house, until 5am. We then decided to take a quick nap before catching our plane.
And yes, our marriage finally got "legal" within a few minutes of arriving at the hotel.
See...who needs all those wedding planning headaches!? lol
