1. Beautiful! Love! n/t

[Starry Messenger]

2. Beautiful!

rec.

[polichick]

3. Same thing you see at any wedding...

~LOVE~

[Bucky]

4. This is worth fighting for. Thank you for posting this

This argument keeps turning into a fight over someone else's objections over how people want to live their own lives. That's almost the definition of a dysfunctionality.

It's none of my business, so I say leave them alone and let them live their lives.

5. The pic of the men with purple vests and perfectly matched, I'm supposing mom,

is so cool.. I could see that on the cover of a wedding mag.

6. I'll point out now that all these marriages have since been made illegal

thanks to people like Rick Warren.

no biggie of course ...

[lostnotforgotten]

7. People Should Be Allowed To Marry Whomever They Want

Rick Warren be damned!

8. Del and Phyllis

I'm so happy that they were able to marry before Del passed on. :cry:

[crappyjazz]

9. I know :(

Del is 83 years old and I am 79. After being together for more than 50 years, it is a terrible blow to have the rights and protections of marriage taken away from us. At our age, we do not have the luxury of time.

10. I thought about posting that quote

IIRC, it was after their first marriage (2004) was voided.

I do love pictures of them though, they remind me what love really is. You know, you can't control who you fall in love with and when it happens, it is beautiful.

And, I have to confess, Del and Phyllis remind me of my own parents. They met in Georgia in the early '50's. They moved back to my dad's home state of Kansas so they could be married because of Georgia's anti-miscegenation laws.

12. When I first learned about them

I said to my partner, we've been together 7 years, only 43 to go :)

Our favourite saying is: "it's not who you love, or how you love, but that you love"

[Mabus]

13. That is beautiful

I hope the time goes by quickly and happily.

:toast:

[QC]

11. Damn special interest people with their pet issues!

Why can't they be more pragmatic?

[crappyjazz]

14. Unfortunately the only change I can believe in

I found under the couch cushions :)

[QC]

15. LOL! That's probably the best thing to have faith in right now. n/t

[Undercurrent]

16. I love this family photo!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Love is the answer ....

Sweet, sweet love...

K&R

:grouphug:

[Irishonly]

18. K&R

Beautiful pictures/ You can feel the love. It just explodes out of each and every one of them.

[rockymountaindem]

19. This can't be happening! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!

Do you know what those people are going do DO after the wedding is OVER? NOOOOOOoooo!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!





Actually, the whole notion of gay marriage seems really non-threatening when you see that it's just a bunch of happy, well-adjusted people enjoying an important moment in their lives. It seems to me that things like Britney Spears' farce marriage are more alarming.

20. Some even kissed before they shut the door

:spray:

[jenmito]

21. Beautiful families! I wish Obama would just outright ALLOW gay marriage...

but we all know his position on the issue. At least he's the best real option we had and he'll take steps in the right direction to full equality of GLBT rights one day.

[crappyjazz]

22. Not holding my breath

but it's a nice sentiment

[jenmito]

23. We shall see...

and hope.

[crappyjazz]

24. Bump for a new day
