[...] For me, marriage equality is about family values. As any of you who've read my book know, Andreas and I both come from gay families. His mom (my "outlaw mother") has been with her partner since Andreas was 12. My mother and her partner had a non-legal wedding in 2006. My aunt and her partner of 17 years just got legally married (for the second time!) in California last month. [...]

So pretty!
And I'm super excited, because one of your aunties is wearing my dress! (The one on the right in the above photo.)
For cynzia – that dress is from David's Bridal, but it's been discontinued! Check it out to see if they have any left – I got mine for a steal.

If I have anything to say about it, they will stay married! No on Prop 8!

I for one am touched that everyone who's commented has said only kind things about this wedding. So what's the big deal? I'm a Californian, and will be proud to attend my friends Ralph and Philip's wedding in two weeks. But we're getting tons of out-of-state money coming here in support of a ballot measure that would deny same-sex couples the right to marry. Why can't people see that no one's marriage is capable of "destroying the institution of marriage"? What kind of a threat do these two sweet aunties pose to ANYONE?

HOW AWESOME!! That's wonderful for your aunties. All I know is Prop 8 better not pass or I'm going to lose all faith in humanity. (maybe not all, but you know…)

YAY! Your Aunties RAWK! My sis and sis-in-law went to CA this last summer to become legally married 2 years after their wedding. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it becomes legal everywhere for same sex marriages. Here's to hoping!

I agree with Meg: the story of you passing your bouquet to your Aunties was one of my favorites in your book…It is beautiful getting to see them holding their own bouquets!

CONGRATULATIONS! I hope they can stay married, the state should have no say in who marries whom. They both look stunning! and its making me all misty eyed to think about the possibility of them not being able to stay married :/
