Just one more thing, folks...
Monday, December 4, 2023...
Yeah, so that's how Monday goes sometimes. 🤷
Ashley is a longtime friend from the Stars. Maria, I've only met a couple times. Which of course makes me COMPLETELY QUALIFIED TO OFFICIATE THEIR WEDDING. WITH 15 MINUTES NOTICE.
Right?
Actually, they weren't really expecting a ceremony. They showed up, paper in hand, expecting the ordained version of me to sign it and let them be on their way. BAH! Yeah, right.
15 minutes after the initial text, and maybe 5 minutes after I'd gotten home and told Jenny what was about to happen... ("What???")
<ding dong>
Hey Jeff, thanks for doing this. We just got the license, but the Justice of the Peace was out today, so...
Sure, no problem. Lemme see.
...
Hi, I'm Jenny.
This is my wife, Jenny. She's working from home today.
Hi. Hi.
This is so exciting! Congratulations!
Thanks! <in unison>
Ok, follow me. <heads up the stairs>
Woah!
Yeah, I know. Just come over here.

BAHAHAHA!
Y'all just stand right over here. We're gonna do this right. In. The. ARCADE!

And that's the way it went down. What you don't see there is a book in my hand. (5 min to prepare, no time to find it!). So what they got was a one minute version of the most memorable lines from every TV & movie wedding I've ever seen, concluding with the usual "You may kiss the bride" said to both parties in this case.
It's right about this time Naomi & Danielle got home from school and came upstairs...
What is going on???
Oh, hey. Just officiating a wedding. 😄
Now (to Ashley), you got a pen?
