We got married in the Platte County Courthouse, with our parents standing by. The judge gave a lovely little speech -- quite a bit nicer than the utilitarian setting required.
The day after, we held a reception at a shelter in Wyandotte County Lake Park -- the weather was lovely, and the moon was full. We went dressed in t-shirts and jeans and had a grand time.
For the next few days we went camping down in the Ozarks, on land his step father owns. We went swimming in the Lake of the Ozarks National Park -- the little beach was surrounded by wooded hills, and we were the only ones in the water.
Then we came home, to spend most of a week doing the tourist thing in our own home, enjoying the sensation of calling each other "husband" and "wife". I died my hair. We spent hours strolling around the zoo in the sun and the heat. We went to the Toy and Miniature Museum, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. We spent more hours walking around Worlds of Fun, in even more heat, riding every roller coaster and enjoying the new Dinosaur Walk. I went for my first ride on a ferris wheel, and after the sun went down, and there were bats wheeling around over my head.
I took lots of pictures.
We got married.
