We had just moved across the country from Mississippi to Ohio. We had been talking about getting married for quite a while, and on the morning of December 30, 2019, Cary looked at me and asked, "Want to get married today?" I thought about it for a minute and said, "Absolutely!" We called the courthouse to see if it was even possible, and they told us to be there that afternoon at 2:15. We went with my mom and our son, Ronan, for a simple ceremony with the judge. Afterwards, Cary and I went to dinner together and stopped at the grocery store on the way home to get a (very) small cake and bottle of champagne. We shared a toast and gave each other a bite of cake standing in my parents kitchen. It may not be a conventional kind of wedding, but it was definitely perfect for us, and we can't wait to celebrate wit you this time around!
