hiddenmusePictures from the wedding - Wedding at City Hall
I had some worries about getting married at City Hall (CH). I'd never been to the CH in San Francisco, so I really wasn't sure what to expect. My worry was that we'd be getting married in someone's office, which would totally suck out the excitement.
Instead, when we arrived and signed the paperwork to get married, we were told that it could be done in the office (hahaha), in the chapel next door, or at the top of the stairwell (the photos can show you what we decided to do). We were there with a few other couples (straight and queer) getting married as well that morning.
The ceremony itself was pretty brief, but it was still beautiful. And even though we've been together for almost 7 years - and had been in a domestic partnership for over a year - we're still kind of giddy over the whole "wife" thing. And still getting used to it, although I still say "partner" on occasion.

Date: 2008-07-18 06:33 am (UTC)One of my best friends got married at City Hall in RWC, and it was very sterile. At someone's desk and with filing cabinets all around, the small group of us just standing there.
I love that you chose the staircase, it made for some lovely photos.
That shot of your adorable shoes was high in the cute quotient too!!
All the best to you both!!!
