2 years ago, I was married in a tiny little town on the Long beach Peninsula in Washington State.
The darling town, Oysterville, has not been touched by time. The entire "city," which is about 1/4 mile big, was built in the 1850s and remains that way today.
I had a modest wedding, with about 45 guests.
We handmade almost everything for the day, crafting up until the morning of.
It was a picturesque morning on the back side of the Willipa Bay, perfectly overcast, and calm winds.
I sobbed as I read my vows with my son in my arms.
I was a bride-zilla, and it rained on my perfect day.
None the less, it was the most fantastic day of my life.
Our wedding was even featured on on OFFBEAT BRIDE!
Fast forward, Valentines day 2009.
We have discovered, our friend, our minister...
Did, in fact, forget to file the paperwork.
I am not legally married. Our wedding, was not a legally binding contract.
I don't even know what to say. Vegas? Here we come?

Uh oh! Is there a time limit on when the paperwork can be submitted? Vegas would be fun though :P
Crazy!
My first thought would be, "Oh new dress then!"
;)
Oh wow! that is so wild! Surely you've seen the movie "We're not Married" (1952). It's a really cute movie and I think you'd love it, it might help bring some humor to your situation. I too vote for the new dress! Or maybe an amazing red suit! ;-)
