The glass is broken!

[Behind the Aegis]

Today, my "partner" and I were officially and LEGALLY married in our home. My HUSBAND and I have been together for almost 13 years, and this past October, Oklahoma finally allowed for same-sex marriage to be recognized in this state!

We really didn't break the glass...that will come when we have an actual wedding. This was more a signing ceremony to make it nice and legal! I better watch my step and the top of the stairs, my insurance just went up!

1. Congrats!

But why do you need a "wedding," presided over by a "holy man"? I was raised in a strict, Polish-American Catholic family, but I stopped believing in the fables and fairy tales decades ago.

That being said, I wish happiness for you and your loved one, regardless of where life's path takes you.

3. Tradition and family.

The wedding will not be a formal to-do, but one I coble together with traditions I like and my husband likes. Some of it will be for my parents. The "holy man" will likely be my father, who has worked as a rabbi. Tradition is as important as other markers in one's life.

5. That is has -- for too long, for too many . . .

Since I was a young man, I've believed that love is such a rarity it should be encouraged wherever encountered, and to deny it a crime against our very existence.

As I've aged, I've come to see it as so much more than a simple declaration -- it is our basis, our strength, and at all times our very reason. And marriage, at least the legal trappings of it, is so critical to the ability of people to live fully, to love completely, and to be able to be with each other throughout every eventuality. I'm very happy that these blessings are being extended to ever greater numbers.
