"The most relaxed wedding ever"
My SO and I just sort of "finalized" our plans to get married in January. I told him I wanted to get married on 1-3-13 because it was prime and cool, he called me a dork, but then liked that it would be easy for him to remember. (he can never even remember how old I am, so a nice repeating number would be good! jaja) We've decided to keep it a secret (so shhh on facebook!) until we get there in January and just be like "hey we're gonna get married!" I have family where we're going in CO, and I think my mom and her husband will probably fly out too because they love vacations. I have some friends in the area who could witness for us if need be, or just find some willing stranger on the street.
We want to keep it a secret so people don't feel left out. We plan to have a nice ceremony and reception once we are living in the states, and that everyone will be invited to. But we want this to seem spontaneous so those who can't make it don't feel bad. This is just the paperwork part, the party and celebrations come later! (not that we won't go out for beer after the paper part!)
I told him he had to propose to me eventually and he asked before or after the marriage. I told him after would be fine, I wouldn't be able to keep a proposal update off facebook
. Then he asked if I wanted rings, I told him he'd have to buy me a ring eventually but for the marriage we could just use one of the rings I have already. He brings up the point that he doesn't have any rings and I said I assumed he wouldn't wear one since he worked so much with his hands but that I would get him one if he wanted. He laughed and said that this was the most relaxed wedding ever. I said it might be a little unconventional, but it works for us.
The one thing I need to figure out is we want to sign a prenup and I have to figure out if I can do that here in Costa Rica, or if I'd have to do it in the USA. If I had to do it in the USA it would sure put a damper on things and would make it a lot damn harder to just "spontaneously" get married. Or can you sign a prenup after being married? Or is that a really stupid question since "pre" is in the word...
Anyways, I guess we're both ready now. I admitted to being pretty freaked out at first, and he told me that we could wait if I wanted to. But I've calmed down and have actually gotten pretty excited about the whole thing. It's kind of sneaky and fun and will make a good story. Sorry for basically repeating my blog I wrote a few days ago. I'm just excited and can't tell anyone because it's supposed to be a secret!!!! Thanks for lending an ear

Seems just your style, it's so great!
Just make sure they recognize them in Colorado, since I think the state you sign it in matters.
