So, my brother has been engaged for 3 weeks now and plans to have a simple, JP wedding a few days before Christmas when he is home on military leave (he still hasn't decided on a date.) 3 weeks ago, I advised him to contact the mayor of our hometown ASAP to ask him about availability and price. My brother emailed him over a week ago, never heard back, and has yet to call to follow-up.
He just texted me and said "I keep forgetting about the person to marry us. Who is a good person?" Um, what!? Did you not get the hint 3 weeks ago when you asked me the first time? And now, his fiancee apparently says that the person marrying them has to be "religious." I wish they would make up their mind! I just sent him the info of a woman we had looked into - she officiates civil and traditional ceremonies for active duty military free of charge, and also says that she is available on weekdays, holidays, and short notice. Not sure that is what his fiancee is looking for, but at least it's someone. I don't even think they have researched anyone yet.
I have given them tips and advice, but they don't seem motivated to do any of this anytime soon. And they HAVE to get a move on it! They want immediate family there, and people are going to need to know the date and time in case some need to take time off from work for it - I know that I will! And if they DO get a JP to do it, they need to find a place to make it happen.
CN - My brother is a butt and is showing no initiative to plan his own wedding ceremony (which is supposedly in <2 weeks!)
