We invited the Girl's brother to the wedding -- the physician, born again Christian who came to visit last month -- and we just heard from him. He's going to attend the wedding! (I don't know if I reported this earlier or not, but at the end of his last stay, as he was saying good-bye to me (out of earshot of the Girl) he told me "I'm glad the two of you are together"). I am so excited about this, I can't tell you. We have very few family coming to our wedding and that's a huge missing for us (we both wish, for example, that our parents could be there (and I, of course, also long for Jennifer)). But, I'll have two of my daughters and now she'll have her older brother whom she adores. We're going to have them walk us down the aisle; I don't know if they know this yet. I know how much she wanted him to attend and the fact that he is coming just makes this whole thing all the more real and all the more exciting.
And! We got our marriage license yesterday!!! It was *so* cool. The lady at the City Hall was just wonderful to us and we were laughing and just having a grand time. We have our dress fittings Wednesday morning. We picked up our wedding bands today. Ohboyohboyohboyohboy!!!!!
