Adventures in lesbian nuptuals...

just ordered our rings from the wonderful laurieopal in the dealer's room at WisCon. And last night, Minnesota poetic powerhouse John Calvin Rezmerski volunteered to officiate, once he gets his minister's license in Iowa. :-D
Still a bit of a shock, as the whole legally married thing comes as something of a surprise.
Apart from that, panels have been decent to pretty good so far, have gotten to see a bunch of friends old and new, I'm very low on sleep but not sick  and am off to go hear some folks read. Plus reading my own stuff at 4PM. More bulletins when somewhat more coherent.

You could get married at ICON in October; I'm sure the con-com would be glad to help. My Iowa sweetie and I got married at a con: 28 years and still going strong as of June 12, with a 13-year-old currently attending her 53rd con as I type this.

Thank you once again! I hope life improves soon and that the con treated you well. :-)

GOOD choice for the wedding rings. Laurie's work is incredible. (Yes, I've succumbed several times.)

If it's any consolation, this "legally married" thing is still a shock to *me* after closing-in-on-20 years. I figure I'd best start worrying when the shock wears off.

Love the marching-toward-married updates. Bringing many smiles.

I'm very excited to be getting our rings from her - we wanted to support someone in our various communities and finding something that works for both our aesthetics is a definite victory. :-D
Next up, we need to locate a place and time, which will be the tricky parts. Congrats on the recent successes and hi to George!

Good on ya!

Hey, congratulations! Iowa is going to be THE fashionable place in coming months! My SigOther's mom is from Iowa...long ago, before anyone got the notion of gays, much less of marrying gays! Obama -- and gay weddings -- in the same terrific year! Wow!

Thank you! :-D

Congratulations! And please post photos of the rings :) And, yes, I feel like I should somehow spend money in Iowa now, but I guess that will have to wait.

Thank you! :-D
Definite postings when we see them, though that's a ways away yet. The artist was very pleased; she's made some rings for LGBT couples in California but these will be her first Iowa ones.
