Crossing t’s and dotting i’s

We are starting to get things sorted out. We’ve had our marriage papers now for several weeks and finally filled them out. They were so helpful to include a blank document in which each line had been numbered with the corresponding directions for each space in English. Otherwise we’d never had known what to write. So the forms are filled out. The nice thing is that we can have our best man and best woman witness the papers for us here. They don’t have to be there with us in Iceland. They sign off on the letters of honour.

Dates of our Trip

We leave Seattle on Friday, June 22nd on good ol’ Jet Blue. I love the red eye flights. Seriously, you waste no daytime flying. We land in NYC the next morning. Thank god for my parents who have graciously offered to pick us at at the crack of dawn and escort us out to Connecticut. We’ll stay with them for several days enjoying the beach, some time in Manhattan, etc., before heading to Iceland on the 25th. We arrive in Iceland on the 26th and head back to the States on July 6th. This will give us a nice long time to expolore.

Tickets

It looks like we are flying from Seattle to New York on June 22nd, spend three days in New York and fly to Iceland the night of the 25th on the red eye. We leave Reykjavik on the 6th of July, spend that night near the airport, and fly back to Seattle on Saturday the 7th.

Justine’s Take on the Whole Thing

It’s actually all my fault. They say that it’s a woman’s perrogative to change her mind so that’s what I’ve done re:wedding venue and location. The easiest part of getting married is knowing without a doubt that Greg is the one for me. We met almost a year ago and, while I didn’t get a word in edgewise (:>)on the first date at The Matador, by the 4th date we’d had time to get to know each other and I knew he was the one for me.

It’s a new start

Justine & I met on May 2nd, 2006. I’d just gotten a new job, after being unemployed for almost two years. Fast forward a few months, and we are living together. Fast forward to [December|January] and we get engaged in Puerto Vallarta.
