I just wanted to let you know, that Eva & I bought the ticket last night. We were able to find one for $325, which was a big blessing (I didn't think we could find anything under 400) She will be flying to Memphis, and carpooling with me to Chatt.

OK. By the way, if you Eva need any help with your paperwork, for immigration or for Czech offices, I am willing to help you with the knowledge I have. It's been a hassle, and I know what the time frames are for doing all this stuff, so if you'd like I can help. I know how it was for me, when I was so overwhelmed with all the paperwork...

One more tip, that you might want to put on your to-do-list ASAP, some states require (other states give discount for completing) pre-marital counseling class. In TN it was significantly lower to pay for the marriage license, if you've completed 4 or 8 hrs. of counseling (can't remember how many, I think just 4) It can be done by any ordained minister or licensed counseling professional. If you are looking for lowering your cost, and your state offers it. Oh, I forgot, you're getting married in TN, right? So, do you have to get TN marriage license or WA marriage license? See, things like that would be good to be found out right now at your nearest clerk's office. But don't get the actual license now, because it's too early. There is only certain window in which you have to get married after they issue you your marriage license. Also, find out if you need to have bloodwork done in your state.

Here is what came up with a quick google search:

Bring your wedding planning books when you come, that way, if there is anything that we can help with off your list (Zuzka, Hanka & I), we can help. I know how expensive weddings can get, but from personal experience I can tell you that you CAN HAVE a memorable wedding on low-budget. It's not about the money you spend...


OK, I've got to run.
