That's right, I just married my long-time girlfriend cutesnowkitty today!
I came up with the idea yesterday while we filled out our financial aid paperwork. The problem is, the goverment hates people, and doesn't believe that it is possible to be an independent student unless you fulfill one of a very small, very specific set of guidelines. One of those is having a dependent, and since I met that, I was able to file my papers without including my parents' tax information and should get real financial aid this year! Unfortunately for the dependent, my new wife (yay!), she didn't meet any of these requirements, and the government wasn't interested in hearing that her parents don't support her in housing or college or anything else. To get around this, I suggested we get married, and here we are! We were married by our friend Mike, who is a minister thanks to some Internet church in California, and he even bought us a wonderful Thai lunch afterwards. We were gifted of one very beautiful wooden photo album by an ex-girlfriend of mine who is still a friend, who was even kind enough to do all the driving around with us. Today has been a fantastic, special day, even though we can't afford a honeymoon or ceremony or anything silly like that. We'll have a ceremony one day, once we can afford to and we know what kind we want, (NOT really a Christian ceremony, please.) we'll invite everybody. It'll be great. That'll also be when my parents find out, so shhhhhh! ^_~

YAYYYYY!!!!
