Was re-reading some of my post. The marriage one in particular. He and I did get married, informally(?) at a downtown Chicago court house with family and friends. The originally supposed more formal, more inclusive (of the rest of the family and friends) was to be rather soon, later on this month or next. Never mind that, we don't have the funds to do so. On the other hand, my mother suggested we do a party at their new apartment, cook the food ourselves, do our own decorations and so on. I just don't see that in the future. When I'm pregnant, I want a baby shower, complete with games and party. Cause we will need help getting things ready for the new arrival. But, no more formal wedding party. Not really our thing I don't think, I was excited about it, the more traditional aspects of it inspire me. Like my dad giving me away, and friends and family galore, my parents meeting my hubby's mother, my grandparents there and as many close friends as could make it. But the finances do put a bit of a damper on planning. Oh well...c'est la vie.
