We'd been planning to since we started dating, having been best friends for years prior.
For a quick rundown on how it happened (the day of) :
- We signed the legal documents at home in our pyjamas with a minister we found online.
- We then lost track of time and were 45 minutes late showing up to the venue
- After showing up, we got dressed (so my partner wouldn't see me in my dress early)
- The wedding went off "without a hitch"... aside from the main thing being getting hitched...
- It was basically immediate family only, with a couple of friends that are more like siblings
- It was at a board game cafe, so once the ceremony was done, people could order food and drinks and play games, and that was the reception. No dancing was had.
- There was a game of Werewolf with almost everybody participating. I ran the game (as I always do) and did so without my usual notepad and paper, only forgetting a few roles each round!
From the comments received, as well as our personal experiences, everyone had a good time.
As for our honeymoon, we went to a privately-run zoo that works with global conservation efforts. They have a B&B on site, so we could hear the animals any hour of the day. We did their behind-the-scenes program and hand-fed some foxes and lemurs, played with an 8-month-old wolf, and fed (with a grabby stick) some tigers and a panther, and my partner (yes, I still prefer this term for keeping their identity anonymous online) had a serval cat cuddle. We had an absolute blast and highly recommend similar-style vacations for animal-lovers who want to relax and get away.
ps. Eddie stayed with my inlaws for the week. They say he had a great week too, and he was really excited to see us again and come home. He'd been to their place before, even having an overnight without us so we could see how that went. He's a good boy, if a little spoiled.
