A Bigger Beginning






We got side-tracked while winding our way up the coast to our appt in Blue Hill, Maine to get our marriage license; Robert forgot his divorce decree. Oh shit!!! What the hell do we do? Well, we tried numerous tactics like, for instance, sending our friend in Texas over to Robert's office to try and find it amongst his files and when that didn't work we called another friend who can usually find out why, who and when someone got divorced on the internet but that fell through too, so we just lied! And that my friends worked like a charm. :0)

Our friends in Maine planned a very romantic little trip by sailboat across the bay to a grand estate, where we said the I dos on a hilltop overlooking the ocean. They set up a nice little buffet of flowers, champagne, seafood and an old gramophone playing Russian songs from the 40's. We waltzed right into married life so sweetly.

Two days later after being wined and dined by our host we had to say our I dos again, only this time officially by the D.A. of Ellsworth. I got all dolled up again in my fabulous dress and walked onto the gazebo where we were to meet our guy and noticed we were surrounded by a group of very special people who happened to be out on a field trip. Some had Down's Syndrome and some where just mentally challenged but they were so excited to be a part of our ceremony.

All in all it was a fabulous trip and both weddings were wonderful in their own unique way.
