So, it's really easy to get married in Maine, I guess. I was expecting to have to show some sort of proof of identification, a passport, social security card, or something. But we just signed the papers for the license and that was that. When we got back in the car, the radio was playing my favorite Arcade Fire song. Then it played I Wanna Be Yr Joey Ramone by Sleater-Kinney. It was a beautiful moment. XM Satellite radio now rocks my world.

We stopped at the den for lunch, the lady whose daughter I used to work with remembered me and gave me a hug. It's nice to be remembered. I tried to stop by the libes to say hi to Brenda, but she wasn't there. So we mosied up to Monmouth, filled out our papers, and after about 10 minutes were on our way. We wound our through the back roads to Freeport (which is actually faster than the highway anyway), and shopped. I found a dress for the rehearsal, Drew found a bunch of clothes and shoes. I stil haven't found shoes. Now that the Parade of Shoes in Downtown Crossing closed, I am at a loss. Anyone know of a Parade in the area that's open? We then went down to Portland for a leisurely dinner and walked around a bit. It ended up taking so long to get back here, though, that we called it a night when we got in.

I've already done my grocery shopping this morning. Yes, already. It's actually quite pleasant to do so at 7:30 in the morning, despite being bleary-eyed and unshowered.

PS- Neil Hamburger is tonight!!! It will be awesome. I take no responsibility for anyone's enjoyment of it, though. Be warned: he is so unfunny that he is hilarious. But consider yourself warned.

Aw, the Den! And the sweet old French ladies!

Glad you had a successful trip to ME. I've got to go looking for a dress for the dinner this afternoon.

I dunno about another Parade of Shoes location, but have you considered going to the DSW Shoe Warehouse in Downtown Crossing? They are absolutely my favorite shoe store for good deals on good shoes.

DSW is good, but the shoes I end up liking there end up being really expensive even though they're a good deal. $100 for a pair of shoes that normally cost $300 is a great deal, but it's still more than I want to pay for shoes. I think I'll check out Filene's Basement across the street from DSW, though.

You don't like DSW shoe? They have everything, and are in Downtown Crossing. Then there's the Cambridgeside Galleria. They have some decent shoe stores.

I like DSW, but I find them a little pricey.. or at least, the shoes I like there end up being pricey. I don't like to pay more than $30 on shoes, plus I'm super, super picky about what I like.

I heart zappos.com - much easier than searching high and low for shoes that fit me. prices are reasonable if not a steal. and NO HASSLE return policy... as long as the shoes show no sign of wear, you have up to a year (and free shipping). this reminds me... I have a pair I got for the wedding that i didn't like that i need to send back... actually, you'd probably like them.

Oooh, thanks! I think I waited a bit too long, but I'll check it out and see if they can ship within a couple of weeks. Those are sweet shoes!

Not a dumb question! Not married yet, but we had to fill out the license form before just to get the paperwork in order. It'll be official in June. =)
