enotsola and I got married this past Sunday, the_misha doing the deed and tiggrrl and child in attendance. (And my mother, of course.) Then we went out for dinner including my aunt and foxgrrl, and afterwards went back home for cake and mead. Pictures contingent upon foxgrrl, who was snapping madly as usual, getting them to me at some point.I should really put some pants on since I need to go drop off the certificate at the Clerk Recorder's and get certified copies, because I'm sure we'll need one for immigration purposes.
So far from various family members we have netted ummm a lot of money (and one slightly useless gift card from Nordstrom -- what on earth do we need from there?). But what it's realistically going to go for is the horrendous application/biometrics fee that's attached to an "application to adjust status to permanent resident" ($1030 or something like that, I forget exactly without looking).
Oh, and yes, I am going to change my name to his (and ditch 7 letters out of a long last name, yay), but that hasn't happened yet. That's not an instant thing (and in fact there's apparently no time limit, either); there's a lot of paperwork to be filed. And I'm not clear on whether it will muddy or have no effect on the immigration proceedings: "Hey, who's this Lisa __B___? You said you were going to marry a Lisa ___A____"... So while in one sense I am now "Mrs Lisa B" I am still going by "Miss Lisa A" for practical purposes at the moment.

I changed my name to my husband's too (I was so happy to get rid of 'Gibbon' I was jumping around for joy!), and it doesn't mess anything up with the application because when you apply they require a copy of the marriage certificate if I recall correctly, and so they can see that and all is fine. It is expensive, though.
I can't wait to see pictures :-)
