Picked Up Marriage License

We went to the LAX courthouse to get our marriage license.

I think I waited too long. I was watching the Michael Jackson memorial on TV & thought there wouldn't be a lot of people in line if I got there before it ended... but the memorial ended right as I got to じゅるる's office. Grrr.

There was a long line at the county clerk's office, but it went pretty quickly.

We also made an appointment for the civil ceremony.
7/31 (Fri) at 10:00am.

The chapel is a tiny room to the side of the county clerk's office, so we won't wear anything fancy. I hope.

Fat Fingers

I have chubby fingers.
Which is why I stopped wearing rings after college.

Of course I'm not really a believer in the institution of wedding rings. Esp engagement rings, which I think are a waste of money. Unless it's to be used as emergency funds when there's a major disaster in the world & you lose all your assets and need to exchange the ring for water or other necessities.

While we both agree on the engagement ring side, someone (I won't name names) insisted we get wedding bands. Fine, fine.

We both don't like yellow gold color, so we were thinking of going white gold. But someone (who I won't name) has sensitive skin & the sales guy said white gold has some metal that people are allergic to. So we went with the other silver colored metal. Although I think titanium would have been awesome because they're kinda dark silver. I realized I don't like that polished chrome color, but too late now.

Anyway, the rings were re-sized & I tried it on.
But my hands were puffy from being exhausted from the con... okay, they're always puffy, but they were puffier than usual! Anyway, my ring finger looked like a ham tied up with string. le sigh.

I took photos, but I decided not to subject myself to such humiliation.

If I wrap my fingers with plastic wrap, will they get thinner?

Missed Fireworks Again

When you're not living a schedule like most working people, you forget when holidays are happening.

Not that I forget the existence of Independence Day, since AX always falls on that weekend.

But I completely forgot which day was the 4th of July.
And I spent the entire evening at a V*caloid panel (2 hours of Miku videos) and C*rcus panel. Then went straight to the ANN party, so I missed all the fireworks lighting up the sky.

I heard from Sat who heard from Ichigo that Koge was scared of the fireworks.
