Licensed to Wed!


This morning, at 5:30 a.m., Bruce and I became the 279th couple in Seattle to get a marriage license! Today is the first day in Washington State's history that same-sex couples could apply to legally marry.

We are so excited to be able to take this step that neither of us, as little as a few years ago, dreamed could ever happen--and thrilled to be a small part of history.

We plan on marrying on Sunday (small, small wedding) and then having a big party late summer/early fall and are looking into options. A cruise boat? A winery tucked into a hillside? the Space Needle? Stay tuned...

    I can't even begin to express how happy I am for you guys. I actually teared up at this, knowing you can finally have it. It seems like such a small thing, just a piece of paper, but it's oh so momentous.

    Truly wonderful, but I can't help thinking gays should always have had this right.

    I'm glad it happened though. SO GLAD!

    Yay for you! Almost makes me wish we were still stationed at Ft. Lewis! (Pretty much anything to not still be in backward GA.)
