Friday morning I got a call at from Gabe while I was taking a break in Big Red.
"Hey Mom, we're getting married today, do you want to be there?"
Duh!
In my excitement I ran out of the truck to announce that I was leaving early... and locked my keys inside the pick-up. Fortunately also in my excitement I forgot to roll up the windows and was able to tip toe and reach in far enough to unlock the door.
We got the usual judicial run around...'go to the courthouse', once at the courthouse - 'go to the county clerk's office a block away then come back with the license'. Once at the county clerk's office the two betrothed filled out the license then called us over to sign.
'Don't you have to wait until you're married before we sign?' Dickidoo asked and the couple laughed.
'We kind of already are married' Gabe announced.
They could even have done it at the satellite office at the Mall, and held their reception in the Food Court at McDonalds! 
And now I am a legal Mother-In-Law! A 'MIL' , licensed to nag. Whoo hoo!
Congratulations Gabe and Kimmie. May your journey through life together be full of love, laughter and Oompa mischief.
1 down, 4 to go.
Next?

CONGRATS JO!
LOL at you locking your keys in the truck.. I guess you guys got old big red to work and no more left turns?
dont feel bad we dont eat till around 6 pm CST ( 5 pm your time MST ) bc my mother doesnt get off from her store till 4 and then it takes 30 min to get here so 5 but then sometimes mom stops at my aunts house on the way home so lol might as well make it 6 lol.
But deep down JO dont you had of wished that they had a full wedding? like gown and tux's and everything? Or were you happy with how they did it?
PS LOL at the look on her face LOL priceless!!!
Love Ya,
Christopher
