yay for you! i don't want to legally marry my opposite-sex partner for a whole host of reasons, including wanting to stand in solidarity with same-sex couples. it's amazing how many people–even out here in san francisco, where we live–don't understand why we would do that. i'm really happy to be reminded that there are like-minded folks out there… makes me feel less crazy.

Well done for standing by your beliefs and arguing against the ridiculous stance that so many states have taken!

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.

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.

Wow! 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!

[...] Offbeat Bride features Lith & Ealesy's *Not Legal* Wedding. I don't mean "not legal" like they were breaking the law, I mean that they decided not to become legally married as a personal protest against the laws that keep gay couples from getting married. Our wedding was not a legally recognised ceremony. We had a friend facilitate the ceremony because we did not want our "marriage" recognised because our nation does not permit same sex couples to marry. [...]

Wow! 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.

I love this idea, and I've been thinking about a way to involve my gay best friend in the ceremony without making him feel horrible… now there will be no guilt!
