We went to the Chapel....

...and we got married!

Part one of the Wedding Escapades of Dianna & Sara included getting hitched at the Chicago Marriage Court on Saturday 7/16. We headed down around 830am. Court is only open 9am-12pm and we knew there'd be a line, and we just wanted to be sure we got IN!!!!

We got there about 8:45am (Man, there is NO traffic on Lake Shore Drive at that hour on a Saturday!), and there was already a long line. We parked and then headed over --- and then we realized that even though there was about 35-40 people in line, there were a lot of families and groups -- so all in all only about 10 couples ahead of us! Not bad!

When the building opened, they led us inside down to the court and we got in line there. It took about 30 minutes to get inside the court's waiting room. Not much different than being in line, but we were able to sit, and enjoy a tiny amount of air conditioning.

Joining us were Sara's mom & Dad, her cousin Pam, her close friend Pontip, and our mutual friend Chris - who took video.

Once we finally got IN the Judge's chambers, it was VERY fast.

I cried a bunch (surprise, surprise), and then it was done!
We took a pic with our super awesome Judge, and then we were MARRIED!!!!

I'll post some pics in a seperate post later.
