Part of the process of making our Iowa marriage legal in Finland involved my parents accepting delivery of a certificate and mailing it on to us.

It came today, and in the envelope were:

• The certified copy of the marriage certificate


• The Apostille certificate to go with it, signed by the Iowa Secretary of State (his name is Michael A. Mauro, if you wanted to know, and his signature is very nice and legible, in blue felt-tip)


• No letters or notes from my parents of any kind


• A fortune cookie fortune, included with no explanation, which is in Engrish on one side and wildly-incorrect Spanish on the other.
  
  
  

XD I love my parents.

The uh, privilage? of a life is who you are?

I'm stumped.

Congratulations on becoming more and more married?

Haha, yeah, that's what I got, except that that's not a word at all apparently. I think they put the misspelled English in Google Translate and it just left the word alone because it didn't recognize it, probably.

We are just collecting the papers for the application (?) thingy now.

That is one classy fortune-cookie-selling restaurant.

Their fortunes seem to indicate high ideals, although a lack of language skills/ability to use spellcheck/dictionaries.

My mom once got a fortune that said "Never wear your best pants to the revolution". I'm not sure which one is better.

[foursweatervests]

I...might have to go with the pants one. It leaves all sorts of interpretations wiiide open.
