Marriage bliss
Well, the day is over. I’ve witnessed almost all of the couples who wed today, or renewed their vows, and it was such an honor and pleasure. I wasn’t sure if this year’s event could top last year, but it definitely gave it a run for its money.

I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. We’ve had weddings, after weddings, after weddings, after weddings, literally. It’s been great.

Seven couples have now wed at the Catawba County Courthouse, and I believe we have about 12 or 13 more to go. This afternoon really gets busy, with back-to-back appointments between 2:45 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. - the last scheduled appointment.

Well cupid has missed the mark. The last three appointments have either no-showed or canceled.

Well folks we had our first no show. The noon appointment did not show up. I hope they didn’t get into a fight and call the whole thing off. But maybe it was for the best because the 12:15 p.m. appointment was ready to go.

And the award for biggest smiles so far goes to Anthony Forney and Katharine Burgess. The two just got married here at the courthouse. They both smiled during the entire ceremony. Katherine wanted a nice quiet wedding, and her mom couldn’t have been more proud of her daughter.
He’s ready to watch the race
Jason Lafferty didn’t realize the wedding would be that short. But now he says he has time to catch the race.

At least 19 couples will exchange vows on Valentine’s Day at the Register of Deeds Office - and I’ll be there.
NEWTON - To many of my family and friends, and on my MySpace page, I dubbed 2007 the “Year of the Weddings.”
My brother and cousin got hitched; two former co-workers said “I Do”; and I lost my two best friends in the world to men.
But my “Year of the Weddings” really started a year ago when I covered 23 couples say “I Do” at the courthouse. It was so much fun. I may have gone into the morning with doubts about marriage, but I left the day extremely happy for those who exchanged their vows.

Hickory - For many of us, Valentine’s Day is a time for romance and love. It’s a time to be wined and dined, for dinner and dancing or, at the very least, a night out of the house.
However, as these three women will show us, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about a romantic love. There are many other things that can happen on Valentine’s Day to make it a day that will be one that is utterly unforgettable.
Going to the Chapel of Love
In Sunday, Feb. 2’s Polish section of the Hickory Daily Record, the following story was a preview to the Register of Deed’s Office, “I Do” ceremony. It’s not too late to sign up.

NEWTON - Jessica Farris and Lucas Garcia want a low-key wedding. At the same time, Farris says she wants a little more than the gray carpet and white walls at the magistrate’s office.
The couple found the perfect solution a couple of weeks ago when they went to get their marriage license: A Valentine’s Day wedding at the Catawba County Register of Deeds Office.
It’s the second annual “I Do” ceremony at the courthouse. The Register of Deeds Office hosts the event. It’s for couples that want to marry on Valentine’s Day and not spend thousands, or even hundreds, of dollars. The cost is $20, plus the required $50 fee for a marriage license.
