As I wrote before, I found my witnesses on Craigs List Alaska. The people that I have been talking to are another couple and have been very helpful with telling me what is located where, what kind of place such and such is, etc. My original ad looking for witnesses offered compensation plus a meal. I asked C today about the different places that have those coupons from the previous post, she told me about them, then said that they weren’t “fancy” enough for our wedding and offered to treat us to dinner at Orso’s in Anchorage!
I am pregnant and hormonal and I admit I cried a little because it was so sweet and generous! They have never met us and are taking time out to be our witnesses, and instead of getting paid for their time, she said, “We’d love to treat. Seriously, it’s not very Alaskan to let you come into town and also buy dinner. Bad ju ju. Also, just remembered that Costco has $100 gift certificates for $80. We’ll pick up a couple of those and be ready to rock and roll. Consider it a wedding present!”
So, thank you C for you kindness, and thank you God for putting me in contact with C.

That is SO nice. It’s so great that there are still wonderfully kind people out there — you deserve to be treated!
I’m glad the wedding dress arrived in time, I really really hope that your friend can alter it for you though!
