We're getting married

Yes, it's true. Nitsy will be completely official on June 25 of the splendid year 2009.
We are eloping. Sort of. We've told people and those people have told people and now most people we know, now know, so it's not really a traditional elopement. But we're doing this whole thing Un-traditional, so it's only natural that even our elopement would be un-traditional.
But for realsies, we are eloping because we're just going to the Santa Ana Courthouse and telling the clerk to get the paperwork and sign it, then we're off to the honeymoon. And whoever wants to be there, great. If no one was there, that would be great, too.
But there will be people there. Some of Betsy's family and at least one, if not more, of mine. We had a few discussions about whether we should let it be known that we were in fact getting married and how it would pan out. We contemplated not telling anyone and just stating the fact afterward. But....we didn't want to really hurt anyone's feelings, so we decided that we would tell our families, and as well, tell them what we were planning and that if they wanted to be there, good.

And almost all of the responses have been super duper positive, with two exceptions. One friend is a little hesitant, and....my Mom, as she has always been, was just blah about the whole thing. Whenever any news is brought to her, for the first three days she is complacent. After that three days she jumps on board and becomes a full-fledged supporter. This sort of thing has been happening since I was a kid. She likes waiting. I could tell her I won the lottery and she wouldn't care for three days, then after that she'd be ecstatic and want some of the sweet cash. She's my mom and I love her, but sometimes she's a little too laid back. I don't wonder where I get it from.

On the other hand, Betsy's mom has been asking when we're getting married since the start of the relationship. And when Betsy called to announce the news, she was not surprised at all. At all. Next step for her is when the grandkids are going to be on the way.


More Nitsy news to come as we near the big day. We still gotta figure out where we're going to live and if I am going to keep my futon or not.
