Steve and Tony - 2008

2011-08-04T17:46:00.004-07:00

Steve (right) and Tony
Date of Marriage: July 12, 2008
Location: The home of friends in San Gabriel, California
We live in: Rancho Cucamonga, California
We met: April 2003

We were introduced in 2003 by a mutual friend who thought we might be a good match. He was right. We dated for about a year before moving in together. We got our California Domestic Partnership certificate in 2006. We were married in Canada before an Alaska Cruise in 2007. We were accompanied by Tony's parents and a close friend of Steve's. It was wonderful, and the ship's crew acknowledged us as "Newly-Weds" with champagne and fruit. Finally in 2008 California performed same-sex marriages for a short time. We took advantage of that small window, and were married in July. We had a small gathering of friends, family and co-workers in attendance, so were able to have a wonderful intimate time sharing and visiting. After years for both of us coming to terms with our orientation, these events were fantastic.

Ron and Chuck - 2010

Location of Marriage: Washington, D.C.

We first met on November 21, 2007

We first started talking on the internet on November the eighth of 2007. He had answered an ad I had put in Poz Magazine internet site. We started talking on the phone soon afterwards spending around eighteen hours a day just talking about anything that came to mind and getting to know each other. We met soon after that on November 21, 2007 and it was love at first sight. He is my world. I have never been so in love with anyone like I am with him. He's everything I need rolled up in a neat little package. When I think of him my heart skips a beat or two. All in all he's my life partner in the true sense.

Tom and Ron - 2007

2010-05-31T15:37:00.007-07:00

Names: Tom (left) and Ron
Wedding Date: 02 June 2007
Location: St Catharines, Ontario, Canada
We Live In: St Catharines
We Met: 01 Jan 1980

It was a full wedding and reception with 75 guests comprising mostly of members of both our families, including Tom's children and grandchildren. Ron's best man was his brother and Tom's best man was his eldest son. Our ages at the time were 77 and 69, which enticed the local newspaper to cover the wedding and write a full page article with pictures. The morning ceremony was followed by a full sit down lunch, speeches and dance. It was a day we will never forget.

Bob and Lyle - 2009

2010-03-19T18:00:00.002-07:00

Names: Bob (left) and Lyle
Wedding Date: October 17, 2009
Location: Franklin, Vermont USA
We Live In: Franklin, VT
We Met: May 2009

Bob and I were married under the beautiful Vermont fall foliage on the most beautiful day of the entire month! We had planned to be married on Halloween, but the leaves started dropping way too quickly so we moved the date up two weeks for the sake of nice photos. The wedding ceremony was very private with only Lyle's Mom and Dick and Anne Harper (very dear friends) as our Justice Of The Peace and photographer in attendance. I was nearly in tears...Bob has much stronger emotional composure (LOL)! After the ceremony, we all went back to our home where we had prepared a great luncheon including a Rainbow Wedding Cake and shared the lovely afternoon together. I never thought I would ever be married...! This is like living in a dream for both of us! We have a faithful, committed relationship and take our vows most seriously!

Aaron and Jamie - 2007

2010-03-16T17:43:00.002-07:00

Names: Aaron (left) and Jamie
Wedding date: 17 November 2007
Location: Sassafras, on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia
We live in: Upper Ferntree Gully
We met: March 1996

Our wedding took place at the home of our friends Robert and Brian, before about 75 people. The ceremony was at 11:30 in the morning, and it was an amazingly beautiful day, in every respect. Our friend Lynlee sang a song by Bellini, and we both read poems to each other - I didn't cry, but nearly did. What a great experience. I still draw energy from it!

Cara and Trudi - 2009

2010-02-06T08:14:00.006-07:00

Names: Cara (right) and Trudi
Wedding date: 10/17/09
Location: Newburyport, MA
We live in: Newburyport, MA
We met: 11/17/07

It was the quintessential date for two classical musicians, a concert at Symphony Hall in Boston. Two months later we were planning our wedding! We started with a palate representing our favorite colors, blue and platinum. Accents of burnt orange were used to represent our fall October wedding (Our favorite season). We both love the beach, so inviting 40 our closest friends and family allowed us to rent space at Blue Inn on the Beach on Plum Island. We were married in our Episcopal Church where our pastor held the blessing and our good friend pronounced us being the J.P for a day. When we returned from our honeymoon, we learned that the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts announced that clergy members may solemnize marriages for all eligible couples. Way to go!

Davina and Molly - 2008

2009-10-09T17:34:00.003-07:00

Names: Davina (right) and Molly
Wedding Date: 9-1-08
Location: Wildwood Acres Resort in Lafayette, CA
We live in: Oakland, California
We met: 5-16-96

Molly and I met in 1996 around the same time Bill Clinton signed the Denial of Gay Marriage Act. We began working to change the laws in California in 1998 and a decade later we were finally legally married. Check out our marriage equality advocacy in the films Freedom to Marry, Pursuit of Equality, I Will I Do I Did, and Wedding Wars. We are so glad we found each other and we want every LGBTI person to have the right to marry the love of their lives. More love!

Andrew and Robert - 2008

2009-06-01T16:57:00.002-07:00

Names: Andrew and Robert
Wedding Date: September 7, 2008
Location: Coronado Island, San Diego, California
We live in: San Diego, CA
We met: June 17, 2007

The first moment I saw Robert (in black) I knew right then that we were meant to be together. Sounds corny, I guess- but it really did feel that way. We were already planning our commitment ceremony when it became legal to get married in California- so we squeaked in under the wire! I know that marriage will be legal across the United States in my lifetime – and I feel honored and lucky to be one of the California 18,000! Think of us as the advance guard, clearing the way for those who come after us.

Christopher and Matt - 2008

2009-05-30T09:32:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the new web log showcasing gays and lesbians who have gotten married around the world.

We start with my marriage to my significant other, Matt (right), on 03 July 2008 in Riverside, California -- yes, we are one of the lucky couples who got married before the ban was voted by the citizens of California. We currently live in Phoenix, Arizona. We met on 22 November 1994 and this year will be celebrating our 15th anniversary together.
