I was wrong when I said that I was done with weddings for the year. It seems as though Wedding Season has now been extended to the end of the year, as I've been invited to two more from now until the end of the year.
This weekend, my cousin and his bride will be getting married at the Bellagio. So we are road-trippin' across the desert and headed to Sin City. Speaking of Sin City, I hope to see Krix while we're out there, so I'm hoping it all works out.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to go to the wedding in December, due to a scheduling conflict. I'm actually really disappointed about this one because our friends R & L are having their commitment ceremony. For as many weddings I've been to, as many gay & lesbian friends I have, I've never been to a commitment ceremony & I'm mad that I have to miss this one.
Then again, until it's legal for gay & lesbians to get married & have the same rights as everyone else, I don't know that I'll see too many of my same-sex couple friends having ceremonies. Here's hoping California takes a step in the same direction that Massachusetts did this week. Meredith provides a great breakdown of what's happening in MA. A paper that she co-wrote is also to be distributed to Massachusetts House, Senate, and the Boston City Council. That's so kick ass.
Actually, as amazing as Mer is, it was Su who wrote everything up - not Mer. :-) Both girls kick ass!

Forget being able to get married. Most of us are just holding out for a civil union. Truth be told, I just want my love to be entitled to the same benefits (medical, death, or otherwise) as any other "married" couple that has managed to not cause each other irreparable damage for the last eleven years of coupling. ;)
