Yesterday (no work - hooray!), after Chrissie and Matt treated us to the most delicious high tea/ dessert experience ever at Jin Cafe on Abbot-Kinney in Venice, we headed over to the "Old Orange County Courthouse" - the only location in the OC where one can get a marriage license, and even have a ceremony (we passed on this option... ;-).
After filling out an online application at a computer terminal in the office, we were called into the sunny light-filled marriage licensing room. We sat in front of a clerk's desk, verified the information on the online app was correct, paid $61.50 for a public marriage license, and voila - we were done!
The process was quick, easy and a bit anti-climactic, but I got really excited at seeing multiple brides - in all their finery - waiting for their ceremonies in the sweet little wood-panelled room next to the office. They even had a photographer to take two commemorative photos of the bride & groom for only $10! I tried to convince Todd we needed to have them take photos of us just getting the license, but to no avail...So we snapped some photos on our own, and headed on our way!
