Twelve years ago today, Ginger Hayward and I stood in line at the Reno, Nevada licensing bureau and realized that they don't take credit cards. Given that our wedding plans were less than 12 hours old and we hadn't slept as we drove overnight to Reno, it's understandable that we had failed to fill our pockets with the cash we would need to complete our mission. Fortunately, the fine folks at Candlelight Wedding Chapel had us covered with 40 bucks cash money. A limo ride back to the Chapel later, we were standing in front of Reverend Seltzer (or so I heard her name) who expeditiously pronounced us husband and wife. We've long speculated that the good Reverend had a cigarette burning in the back room and wanted to get back to it.
A quick nap at the Circus Circus then we were back on the road so Ginger could pour coffee drinks at a hut in the Gateway Mall parking lot and I could do whatever the hell it was that I did to kill the days back then.
Not that most auspicious of beginnings, but we have certainly made the most of it and I, for one, have never for one second regretted it.
