Someone to pronounce us husband and wife

It has been suggested to me that in order to get married, I need someone to actually do the marrying.

I think I've already written here about my problems in that department. The pastor at my church, who I really liked and hoped to ask, suddenly got promoted and was gone. Of course. Now, the church has temporary pastors, a different one each week. I had no idea how long this would go on or who I should even ask.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Today I went up to one of the visiting pastors. "Hi, nice to meet you, can I ask you a question? How does somebody get married around here?"

Okay, I didn't ask quite like that. But it was pretty close :)

He transferred me to the assistant pastor, who took me to the office where I met the elusive Anndra. ("Can you please help this little girl?" ... Sheesh.) I know her name, I know she's in charge, but I was never sure who she was.

It turns out Anndra is very nice and she's close to my age-ish. She took down my contact information and suggested we discuss things further with the interim pastor when she arrives on August 15th. (I think that's the date.) In the meantime, she didn't seem horrified by the idea, so I think that's good news.

I sent her an email with some more detailed info, confirmation of my contact information, and a thank you for speaking with me today.

Let's hope we're on the right track :)
