It was a simple plan:  get married.

A lot of people do it.  Most of our friends have done it.  Some of my siblings have done it multiple times.  It's a 'cornerstone' of our society, something so simple yet vitally important to so many.  Well, perhaps it's not all that simple.  And it's definitely not that simple when you are us.  Having to wait until it was actually LEGAL to do so kind of put a damper on the act for many, many years.

So in the spring of this year when California began allowing same sex marriages we thought, 'Hmmmmm.'  (Massachusetts had allowed for marriages to that point, but you had to be a resident of the state to do so.  That has recently changed.)

The threat of it all being overturned this November still hangs over our heads but at least for now we're 'equal not separate.'

But WAIT!  There's more!
