Wedding preparations, Part 2

Today the BF and I dropped off our file at our local city hall for the wedding. It says in the little brochure they give you that you should expect the meeting to last 45 minutes - except we were done in about 10 minutes. As is often the case in France, the fonctionnaire handling the weddings part of city hall looked extremely bored out of her mind and acted like we were the reason she was not off doing more important things, what with sighing heavily every 5 minutes and acting like she was doing us such a big favor by reaching over to grab the calender on her desk to tell us which dates were available.

Anyway, the wedding date is set for a Saturday at the end of July! We're pretty lucky to have gotten a Saturday in such a short amount of time - most couples like to book Saturdays because they want to follow up the civil ceremony with a church wedding - which can only take place on Saturdays in France. We won't be doing a church ceremony, though, so it will just be a small family wedding for now.
