How selfish of me to want the shutdown to end for my wedding...BUT...To make a long story short, the MN state shutdown may just be messing with my wedding!
The venue for my reception is a curling club/community center. And we have to bring an outside vendor in to do the bar service. While we had the vendor picked a long time ago, they waited till AFTER the shutdown started to start the process of applying for the liquor license for the venue. Well, we just met with them last night, and they told us they can't do it unless the state starts up soon. There is a backlog of over 300 bars that are 'in line' waiting to get their license. And if the state doesn't start up in the next couple weeks, the backlog will be too long for this license request to go through (apparently) for my Sept. wedding!
This is not good.
On a side note, we haven't applied for our marriage license yet either (dumb, I know). But I wonder if we can. I saw someone on the MN board talk about changing their drivers license and they were told you can do that. I'll have to call the courthouse today and see if we can. Ugh.
Vent over.
