Let me tell you, frends, trying to arrange a shotgun wedding during a pandemic is not child& #39;s play.
Wait, is it still a "shotgun wedding" if nobody& #39;s pregnant and the motive for haste is health insurance during a pandemic?
The Justice of the Peace& #39;s office was very rude and sarcastically suggested the judge could marry us over Zoom, then seemed startled when I agreed that& #39;d be fine.
She told me to call back once we get the license in a few weeks (we have an appointment), at which point "the quarantine will probably be over", then seemed even more startled when I panic-laughed and said I very much doubted that.
She seemed to be dealing predominantly with, like, Upset Summer Brides Wishing To See A Manager (and I sympathize with her because that sounds like a new level in Dante& #39;s hell) but unprepared for the reality that people are going to be marrying in a rush for medical insurance.
I very much expect this to be a new trend as ableds slowly sink in the fact that no one is safe from this virus, no, not even if you usually Never Get Sick.
Also, to be clear: This is kind of our "health insurance wedding" and we& #39;re going to have an actual celebration much later. With, like, swords and possibly some kind of goth cosplay and definitely kickass vows and maybe a duel. <3
