That is so great! We're going to do the same thing, though in San Francisco. City Hall first and then the real ceremony and celebration to follow - planned, organized, not rushed!

I was planning on something just like that too!

I have a question, I'm only 21, so I'm kind of naive and not very experienced with this whole marriage stuff (but i do know I want to be with my bf)

So if you got married at city hall say... may 20, 2007 and you planned a ceremony for august 27, 2008.. which would you consider your wedding anniversary? :D

Congratulations on your wedding.

You might want to just apply for AOS. My wife got the EAD three weeks before AOS interview and approval. You could save a few bucks.
