How I did it: I met Tom at work and were instantly friends, eventually we began dating and realize we were very happy together and decided for him to move in with me and my kids.  After 3 years we took the plunge and made it official.  So having filled out a licenses, picking out clothes to wear and heading off to a Justice of the Peace to pronounce us man and wife.  Nothing fancy, just simple and sweet.  My kids were our Best Man & Maid of Honor and a friend took photos as we exchanged vows and rings.  After wards we all went out to each Chinese food.  We went to visit Tom's family in Texas for our honeymoon. 

Lessons & tips: Having a big giant production of a wedding is too over the top.  Keep it simple and only those closest to you should participate.  After all, your wedding is for you and your love and the more you can keep it about just that the less nerve racking stress you will give yourself and others.

Resources: Justice of the Peace - easiest, less costly, quickest way to get married.
