More fabulous pictures of the weddings, and a chance to help out - the photo below of rose petals and rice on City Hall steps has been made into a lovely poster, and all the profits will go to DontAmend, an organization devoted to stopping legal challenges to these wonderful events.
And from an account of the event, by the straight, about-to-be-married guy who took the photographs: Suddenly all my wedding planning stress was gone. And in its place was this feeling of gratitude. I'm so lucky to have found Heather. And so lucky that I can marry her without anyone standing in my way -- not our family, not the state, not the president.
Everyone should be as lucky as me. Everyone can be. And it's starting right here in San Francisco.
It's funny, but watching a few hundred same-sex marriages really reminded me of why I wanted to get married in the first place.
Heather and I have a date and we have a location. We have a list and a save-the-date card printed. We have appointments with caterers and a block of hotel rooms booked. Those are all details, and they matter, but they're not what weddings are about.
We have each other, and everything is going to be okay.
