Turns out also that the marriage license is only the first part and we do have to have some kind of ceremony, although California is loose about who can perform a marriage. You can have a clergyperson or judge do it, pay an the extra fee to have the county clerk's office do it (but you have to have an appointment and it's something crazy like Tues - Fri, 10 AM to 4 PM only) or pay a different extra fee to deputize some friend or relative of choice to be a "solemnizer" (who has to show up and apply for this -- I assume they are sworn in, given forms, stuff like that).
Um. We don't have anyone in mind for that. We are not having a church wedding, ugh. I'm not thrilled by the idea of the civil ceremony schedule because we really would prefer a weekend. Any of you local doods out there (still) ordained?
(*grumbles at the eligibility language that says "The couple must be an unmarried man and an unmarried woman"*)
