Today was the first and probably only wedding at Gillum House on my watch. This morning after breakfast, my brother, his fiance, and I drove to the County Seat and got the marriage license. While they were finishing the paperwork, I called the minister and set the wedding for 1 PM. I called the florist and ordered a bouquet and called our City Recreation Coordinator to come over at 1:05 to use my camera to film the ceremony.
Everything happened like clockwork. We had the wedding in my side yard in front of the rhodo bush (past blooming by a week darn it!) and it was all over by 1:30. By 2 PM it was a downpour!! I got the paperwork from the minister, made an appointment with a photographer for studio portraits at 3, and by 3 I had gone back to the Courthouse and got the certified copy of the marriage certificate (the lady even gave me a second copy that I was going to purchase for safety sake) and the marriage registered and we made the photo shoot. Went back to the house, finished waiting for the guests due in tonight, and when they arrived made our reservation at one of our favorite restaurants for the wedding supper. (Guests went to get their dinner and we went for ours.)
It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood!!
