A romantic day

I had the most romantic New Years Eve this year, thanks to a couple I don't know. At 4:30 pm New Year's Eve, someone named Scott called me. He and Kim wanted to be married for the new year, but it wasn't going to work to get to the courthouse. Was there any way I could do it? After I ascertained that it wasn't friends of mine joking around, and that they were not trying to commit fraud or abuse, I said yes.
I admit, I thought of the 1940's movies when the Justice of the Peace gets waken up to perform a ceremony quickly because the couple is about to have sex, or check into a local motel, and they need to get married first. Of course, the movies don't exactly say that, and this was not the issue for this couple, but that I felt like I was in a 1940's movie is the point.
So anyway, we exchanged information and I was on my way to the church within 30 minutes. It felt so freeing to say the words to them, "No, you don't need rings and you don't need witnesses. The only reason you need me is to witness the vows you say to each other." I mean, is that not what a union should be, between any two people--an exchange between them and the representative of that which is sacred to them?
They arrived and told me about their romance and their desire to start the year off married. We walked in to the beautiful meeting room and turned on a few lights. I said some pretty words about love, they cried, eyes locked, as they exchanged vows, and when we were done, my husband hit play on the mixer and they slow danced to Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours" followed by Sheryl Crow's "Love is Free."
It was so romantic, and by 6 pm I was back at my house. Happy new year, Scott and Kim, and blessings on your union.
