(Woman in elevator in court asked us if are from out of state, we asked how she knew and she said because we are dressed up -not white dress but still kind of festive and people in their town never dress up lol lol lol ).
We have absolutely hilarious memories of it. We didn’t want big wedding or getting people from out of town or out of a country (and they would have to travel again for month later for my nephew), we already had big weddings many years ago and we raised children and didn’t want to have big to do at 50. It was easy as that state requires no witnesses and no applications. You come as you are snd get married. We liked it!
We don’t care about second weddings, we put our money into going on a honeymoon right from there. Also my nephew had a huge wedding like right after us getting married and we fell it was wrong to steal the thunder.
I don’t think weddings matter. I mean it’s nice when you are young and start family but i won’t measure success of a marriage by success of a wedding. I’ve been to some lavish weddings and people were divorced in a year. I seriously think it doesn’t matter at all

Oh ok... I see. I guess I misunderstood. My apologies. Glad you have some hilarious memories! It certainly sounds pretty memorable.
When I look at my own wedding pictures, I look at them with fondness and I see true happiness on my face, despite us fighting on the morning of the wedding. We both look happy. I didn't know yet what was to follow.
And I wonder if in part I was happy to finally be getting married because it's what I had wanted all of my adult years (in secret). I waited until late forties to marry. But I genuinely look happy. and as I recall, I did feel happy.
Our honeymoon was a mixed bag. Some wonderful moments and some not so wonderful moments. It was mainly just relaxing, with a lot of pampering. Not a lot of sex though, even on our honeymoon, which concerned me greatly.
