Somehow I never realized you were also a S'08 bride! The anniversary board is still relatively active if you ever want to stop by. But I know you're really busy with the little one.

Re: ~LadyE~
Well, I have kind of a different wedding anniversary. My wedding was in November 08, but we were married by a JP in September.
My sister got engaged not long after me, and we were able to talk weddings. Since she was engaged to (and now married to) a woman, she did not have the option of being married in the church.
I really struggled with this. I talked to our minister for hours about it. He would have gladly married them, but the Episcopal church can't perform gay weddings. Ultimately, DH and I came to the decision that we weren't comfortable with our minister signing our marriage license but not being able to sign my sisters.
My marriage and my relationship are no more valid than hers. So we decided, with our wonderfully supportive minister, to have our marriage license signed by a JP, and our minister performed the same marriage blessing at our wedding as he does at a gay couple's commitment ceremony.
So the anniversary we celebrate is our wedding- 11/1/08. Most people don't even know that we were already legally married for almost 2 months at our wedding.
Wow, LadyE! That is so awesome. You are an amazing sister!
This. I love your story, thanks for sharing.
He was a minister I've known since I was very young, and he came to a local church to perform the ceremony but he is located in Boston now. But he put us in touch with a local minister who has been wonderful in keeping me from becoming entirely disenchanted with the church (our new minister is a married gay man himself, so he certainly takes issue with the same things we do in the church).
