Wedding Luncheon

Today my restaurant hosted a small post-wedding gathering for two newly-married gals! The adorable couple was surrounded by family (included kids) and I couldn't stop smiling every time I saw them.

And, dontcha know, that one of the women wore pants and a man's tailored shirt (in white, natch) - while the other wore a dress and carried a lovely wedding bouquet (Ellen bless 'em!). I just wanted to hug and squeeze them for being so friggin' awesome.

I REALLY ❤ New York

New York state judges are volunteering by the dozens to officiate at the first same-sex marriages on Sunday, July 24th. From the New York Times:

From Buffalo to the Bronx and pretty much everywhere else in New York, judges are signing up for rare Sunday duty. If same-sex couples want to marry that Sunday, only judges would have the authority to dispense with the 24-hour waiting period required by law. And those judges could then officiate on the spot. Another of the volunteer judges, Sherry Klein Heitler of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, said she was expecting something of a party at the city clerk’s office. “I think there will be a lot of people,” Justice Heitler said. “I think there will be a lot of emotion. I think there will be a lot of happy tears.”

J'adore my state.

George & Farid Want To Get Married

From Freedom To Marry (via JMG):

“Farid and George have been in a loving, committed relationship for over 10 years, doing the hard work of marriage – in addition to the hard work of owning a successful restaurant business together – yet without the support and respect marriage would provide,” said Evan Wolfson, Founder and President of Freedom to Marry. “They have wanted to marry for years, but with a baby on the way, they feel even more strongly the need for the critical safety-net that marriage brings. New York couples like Farid and George want the freedom to marry, a super-majority of New Yorkers want them to have it, and the New York state legislature should pass the marriage bill - now.”

American State By Movies

I totally agree with Groundhog Day for Pennsylvania (where I was born and raised), and Taxi Driver for New York (where I've lived for the past 17 years as of next month).

Do you agree with YOUR state's selection?
