On a less socially conscious note: I have the same dress! Love it!! I'm so happy to see pictures on a real bride in context of an actual wedding! I can't wait to wear it in two months... I can't believe you put your wedding together in 9 days. I bow down. Well done for standing by your beliefs and arguing against the ridiculous stance that so many states have taken!

Thanks for giving me food for thought. Due to benefit reasons we want to have a spritual ceremony without the legal aspect of a marriage license. Thanks for giving me food for thought.

I love that you ditched the legal aspect. My fiance and I considered doing the same, but we live in one of the only states in the U.S. that allows same sex marriages (Massachusetts), so we decided to make it legal. Kudos to you -- the non-wedding looked amazing! Wow! I love that you ditched the legal aspect.

My fiance suggested we not get legally married when we do our ceremony this fall, and I thought it was the best idea ever, and now this article is up just the very next day. If that is not a sign then I do not know what is. Wow!
