Married in Palm Springs!
Well we did it. Last night Palm Springs at a large street party, and had a marathon marriage event featuring the mayor of PSP,and the Gay council members officiating. There were a few hundred folks particpating.It was a happy event, and EQ Calif was sponsoring the event. The only problem was the 115 degree heat( after dark). we exchanged rings and went out to celebrate in air conditioning. We both wore shorts and pastel guayaveras, matching wedding bands too. Sorry boys, I am now officially off the market

7. It's been 32-33 years since our first ceremony
this one has paper behind it. To officiate the first we found an official of the SF chapter of the now defunct US-China Peoples Friendship Orginization. How times change

15. Congrats!
Silly me! At first I thought that read "Married in Palm Beach" (we dyslexics have more fnu), and I went "Wow! So same-sex marriage is finally legal in Florida!"

{{{{{sigh}}}}}

Well, at least I hope it happens in my life-time, but most of this state is so freaking backward that I'm not holding my breath.

And to you two:

18. Lucky guy.
Congratulations!

May marriage for you be everything I've enjoyed this last decade. (Mainly tedium broken by the occasional snide remarks about last Thursday's 'incident' with the dog and the Ray-Bans... have fun with that)

27. Congratulations. We were there, too.
We went down and saw some of the event, but took off as it was so hot and crowded. It was on the television news in Palm Springs, too.

I wish we had known you were there, but in hindsight, I should have guessed you would be there.

Congratulations to you and yours. Wow.

I don't know if we will do this ourselves at this late point in our lives. We met in 1973 and shacked up in 1975 for good. But I am happy for you.

The world has turned.

:toast:

30. We took off quickly too
Edited on Tue Jun-24-08 10:13 PM by mitchtv
it was 115 degrees, and Eduardo is not in such good shape physically, as well as our witnesses, who are in their late 70's.
I guess I won't be changing my name, as I have spent a lifetime being me.Sorry I missed you at the Big Fat Gay Wedding Party
