Well, the first step anyway. Got a marriage license. DF says I owe him $98 if I back out. I paid the 50 cents. Now I have to find someone to do it. I'd like it January 1 but will go with the 4th. I can't believe I actually applied for the license.

Thank you. I can't explain why I'm so scared of marriage. I know I love DF but marriage terrifies me. But it protects us both.

congrats on making a step I know you've been scared of. with what you've posted about your history, I can understand why you're skittish. but nobody will force you into marriage until you're ready to do it. you're absolutely right that it's going to protect you both. I wish you and your DF the best.

It's a neat idea, New Years eve, but not smart tax wise. One day makes a huge difference.

Ooh, the stroke of midnight! Kiss at 12, and get pronounced immediately after, so the 1st. ETA: oh wait, I got it backwards! Damn.

It's a neat idea, New Years eve, but not smart tax wise. One day makes a huge difference. DH and I met at a NYE Party just after New Year's. I wanted to get married at midnight but was out-voted. I should have stood my ground. Of course as we get older the journey to midnight gets harder and harder.
Have a NYE Wedding. Just make it official as of 1/1/15 for tax purposes.

Well, the first step anyway. Got a marriage license. DF says I owe him $98 if I back out. I paid the 50 cents. Now I have to find someone to do it. I'd like it January 1 but will go with the 4th. I can't believe I actually applied for the license. Wow, it's good for a month? I think here it's 7 days. Which is a PITA. Congratulations Zib. Best of everything to you and DF.

You're on the other side of the state or I'd take you up on it.

I like the idea of saying "I do!" once the clock strikes midnight on January 1! Very cute.
And once you do get married... pics or it didn't happen!

Okay, now I'm catching flak about not having a REAL wedding since I have a dress. It's not a wedding dress but just a nice dress. But maybe it's too nice? After all, it's becoming just something to get thru so why make a big fuss? Maybe I'm missing the point? I
