Great photos.
The pic of the two guys went also around on FB yesterday and someone dubbed it: Ennis and Jack finally made it!

Either it's not a stupid question, or we're stupid together. ;D I was wondering the same thing.
Looks more like taking an oath in court than like saying their vows. Guess it's the customary, maybe even required procedere in the US?

According US News, Larry Duncan, 56, a retired psychiatric nurse, and Randell Shepherd, 48, a computer programmer, of North Bend, Wash., have been together 11 years. They wore the matching outfits as a "fashion statement."
"We were at a party and we met eyes and fell in love," Duncan said to the news source.
"He came up and asked me out, and I said yes," Shepherd added.
The bearded couple is considering getting married Sunday at a local church that will perform mass ceremonies for same-sex couples.
Although they're not religious, Duncan told NBC, “Enough people have told me, ‘God hates fags'. I want someone in a church to say, ‘God loves fags,’ to have that stamp on it.”
