Our plan was to get legally married on our Wedding Cruise but the Bermuda licensing was a little too much work so we decided to go ahead and make it legal here. We stayed up late the night before having wine and talking about our future and how happy we are to have each other.
We woke up early and got ready to go. We met our good friends Chris and Jeff down at the Martinez courthouse and filled out paperwork and waited for our turn. We wanted to keep it a secret from our family because it was a last minute decision and we didn't want to do a get together as we were so busy at work.
We got married in a nice little chapel and Chris and Jeff video taped everything. We cried while trying to get the words out and had a magical moment together. After the ceremony we went down the street, had Champagne and celebrated.
Later, we had the most wonderful dinner at one of our favorite places The Nantucket. It sits right out over the bay and overlooks all the shipping and fishing boats. It sits below the Carquinez Bridge and the views are glorious. It was a really warm night and we were so grateful to be married and to have each other.
The next morning we woke up as Man and Wife. I have never been so happy to look over and see my beautiful Husband laying next to me asleep wearing his Wedding Ring.
