Today has been a busy day. Earlier this week, Birdie found out his Drill Sergeant School at Fort Benning overlaps the date he and Regina planned for their wedding. So they picked up a marriage license yesterday, and we visited the courthouse this morning. They are now Mr. and Mrs. Birdie Mulligan.
I reserved a room for them tonight and tomorrow night at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio, gave them enough money for a beer or ten, and sent them on their way. People in Reservations had some dificulty in grasping that I was paying for everything on a credit card, and they already had all the information for that payment. After several phone calls, emails, and a fax, and a conversation or two with the Hotel manager, they were given an upgrade to the best suite in the house.
Everything worked out pretty well, after all.
Congratulations to my youngest son and his bride!
Congrats on the marriage of your youngest son!

Yessiree, congratulations. And those short but sweet ceremonies are the way to go. The Menger is a nice choice for a little romance too!
