It's
official! We got
hitched on June
23, 2001!
On
our way back from
Oklahoma City, OK,
we stopped over
in Eureka Springs,
AR to spend the
night and do some
shopping. While
searching for a
hotel, we noticed
all these wedding
chapels around and
thought, "why
not?". We stopped
at one and found
out that all we
would need is a
marriage license
which we could get
from the courthouse
the next day before
noon.
We
stayed in the Crescent
Hotel, which is
reportedly haunted
and has been established
since 1886 in Eureka
Springs, AR. We
saw no ghosts, but
it was a very nice
place to stay.
We
woke the next morning
and rushed out to
get our license
before the courthouse
closed, found a
chapel/olde timey
photography studio
owned by Rev. Charley
D. Bennett, who
bears a striking
resemblance in looks
and sound to Billy
Bob Thornton.
We
picked out our costumes
and stood before
our minister who
performed a very
sweet ceremony.
We made it back
to the courthouse
before 1:00 p.m.
which meant we could
record the marriage
license the same
day.
