Yesterday, in a small chapel inside the county courthouse, Chris and I got married. It was quiet, attended by our immediate families, and it barely took 15 whole minutes.
If I'm being honest, I'm not a wedding person. I mean, I enjoy them when I attend. I have purchased enough bridesmaid dresses in my life to know that most of my friends have no idea what a flattering color or dress style is. And I've enjoyed an open bar or seven in my day...
But I never dreamed of my wedding as a kid. (I did dream of becoming Nolan Ryan and one day pitching for the Texas Rangers. This has not happened yet, and I'm pretty sure my shoulder can't take it.) I had no idea really of what I'd want at my wedding. And if I'm being honest, there has literally never been a time in my life when I got to choose something I wanted and be the center of attention. So, I literally have no idea how to be the person in a wedding.
But this ceremony was quick, painless, and fun.
Please know that we are spending our honeymoon on our couch, watching The Righteous Gemstones and playing Tetris.
We want to have a reception of some kind later, but if these past two years have taught me anything about in-person events, I will not be planning anything. And maybe we'll travel for a honeymoon when we feel safe to do so.
At the end of the day, this wedding is kind of just a formality. I know that these sort of things are super special to some folks. But to us, well. It's checked off the list and now we're off to do much cooler stuff. Like watching the extended version of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and doing a jigsaw puzzle.
(Yeah. That's literally on the list of things to do this weekend.)

Are you a perfectionist? Are you ready for your skin to crawl a little?
This week I wrote about the joys and cringes of taking imperfect action. I know that researching how to do a thing until you feel comfortable doing that thing is attractive. But it's also a great way to never actually do the thing. The past eight or so years for me have been just taking one imperfect step after another, and cleaning as I go along.
