Marriage...And All the Paperwork

The deed is done. Brett and I tied the knot and now I have to deal with all the paperwork. Guys don't realize how "easy" they have it. They get married and go on with their lives. Women have to do all this paperwork to change their whole life.

The first thing I had to do was change my driver's license. There really wasn't much paperwork with that. Then I had to go and get put into the "Military system". Again, not much paperwork. However to change all my bank accounts, credit cards, social security number, and anything else that has my maiden name on it I have to submit a letter (sometimes notarized) and a copy of my marriage license.

You would think it would be a little easier to change. I guess there is a reason for why they make it so difficult. I think this will be one of the tasks I tackle when I am in Cleveland for the month of June.

A Sample of my Wedding Pictures

The photographer (Ross Weitzner) I used for our wedding was awesome. He was so laid back and took candid pictures. You didn't even know he was there half the time. The bonus of the whole deal is that at the end of the night he handed my matron of honor two disks of photographs that were mine to keep and do with as I please.

So for the last couple of nights I have been sitting here rotating and moving images in the order I want them. I have put them on Snapfish so I can email them out to all my friends and family. It is taking longer than I thought it would. I was hoping to get them out a week after the wedding. However, there was a death in the family and now we are packing the house to move.

This is not something I want to rush. I do, however, want to get them out for people to see. I never knew this would take so long. Hopefully everyone who sees them will like them. Here is a preview:
