Travel plans have been made, appointments confirmed, bags are starting to be packed, and I understand that appropriate clothing is in the works as well.
Really, there’s not all that much that needs to be done, both by design and necessity. Even if we’d wanted a fancy, foofy wedding — and we don’t — getting all those planets to line up before election day, by remote control, seems more trouble than it’s worth.
So we’re doing the planning and management with checklists rather than those plan-your-own-wedding books that occupy shelf upon shelf in the local bookstore. I looked at one book that seemed promising — it even had the word “elopement” in the title — but the first page I turned to dwelt at unseemly length on the merits of multiple attendants. Some elopement.
Every day’s a little more exciting. I just hope I don’t commence to blubbering at the courthouse on Tuesday.
