We've been "engaged" since 2004 and were originally supposed to get married in June 2006, but postponed the wedding to July 2007. I love shopping for housewares and office supplies, music, reading chick lit, football, and the diverse world of Los Angeles dining.

There’s no getting out of it now. . . we received our marriage certificate in the mail yesterday! Yes, we did get married on July 28. The county recorder told us to expect it in 20 days, but I guess they either worked reeeeeeeeally slowly or there was a glut of 7-7-7 brides in Los Angeles County (or both).

I took the certificate in to Mr. Pearl who was in the bedroom. We had a sappy little moment together, then he did the ultimate in sappiness.

He put our reception introduction song on his computer.

As we stood in the bedroom and had a kiss while grinning like silly fools over our marriage certificate and listening to “Happy Together”, I was reminded of how blessed and fortunate I feel to be married to my hubby. Now I get the “fun” of going through the name change process. Woo-freakin’-hoo.
