Last minute wedding foofiness…
By this time on Saturday… I’ll already be married. But before I leave tomorrow morning for Michigan, I thought I’d share the brief tale of the most recent wedding mini-crisis.
Yesterday afternoon, the fetching future Mrs. Wilson, in a wonderful attempt to be helpful, packed up several boxes worth of stuff that I had remaining at my mom’s house. Unfortunately, she packed up everything on my desk. The desk… with my passport and birth certificate sitting on it. According to Michigan law, we need to present a birth certificate to get a marriage license.
Last night, we had resigned ourselves to rooting through 5 or 6 boxes tonight in an attempt to find a little slip of folded yellow paper, about the size of a business card. Then I remembered… I was born in the same county that I’m getting married in. I called the County Clerk’s office earlier today, and lo, they can just look it up, they don’t need me to present the birth certificate if they already have it in their records.
Whew. Mini-crisis averted.
Alright, we’re outta here, as of tomorrow morning. (If any of you guys going to the wedding are reading this before the wedding, you can decorate my car with whatever you want, just try to avoid doing any permanent damage, eh? Thanks.)

Is this some new way to hijack the discussion on a blog?

Haha, yeah, I suppose the comment spammers would pick the week I was on my honeymoon to mass-spam my blog.
Anyway, I deleted all of the comments, but I couldn’t figure out a way to make wordpress ban the spammer by IP. If he comes back, I’ll try to figure out a more permanent solution.
