Congratulations guys!  Where y'all get married?

Thank you!

Right here in our home county of Arlington, Virginia!

When the ruling (or non-ruling) came down on Monday, we decided to get married as soon as we could, though we had been talking about it for quite a while, and when it looked like there would be no appeal a few months ago we were ready then. But then the Commonwealth appealed pro-forma. Still, The Supreme Court denial of cert was so unexpected! We got the license on Tuesday, and were planning to marry then, but the only civil celebrant available (no one expected this ruling when it happened) refused to marry us, no reason given but we found out later it was because of religious grounds. His name is no longer on the County list of approved civil celebrants. I left messages with the other ones, and the first one to call back I arranged to meet late Thursday afternoon. We went down there near the courthouse and got married in his office suite, where the pictures were taken.

That's great y'all could get married in your home state. My partner & I live in Alabama and got married in Seattle last year... tho still not recognized in AL... but I don't think it will be too much longer til Supreme Court rules that it must be legal in all states. Best wishes, guys.... enjoy your honeymoon! :o)

Post by: fritzkep on October 11, 2014, 09:01:40 pm
Thank you! And who knows, Alabama might enjoy equality sooner than we expect! We were so surprised that we could so soon in Virginia!

Yes, the 40th Governor was one of his great-great-uncles. I made sure to ask him about that!

True, but it's comforting to know that should something happen certain relatives, if they were so inclined, could not come and take things away. I'm afraid Earl has a sibling-in-law like that.

that sucks, but I'm glad you have that protection now.  Of course, Earl should put it in writing too, just to be safe.

Oh yes, it's in the will, but before the overturning of the marriage ban, Virginia law made it a lot easier to break a contractual arrangement between two people of the same sex, anything that hinted of a marriage-like state.

Ironically, those provisions demonstrated the animus that made overturning the ban that much easier in the courts.
