Oh, yes, I was reading about them yesterday (and crying, of course.) The kicker is they got married when Newsom did his thing before, and it got ruled illegal, and now they're doing it again, dammit. And however many times they have to, presumably. Seeing the photos of them from the previous event and now and how they've visibly aged just in that time and OMG, they're actually racing the clock here.
"I think today marriage as an institution has been strengthened. I think today marriage has been affirmed." Okay, go Gavin. I'm skeptical about him in general but that was a damn good statement there.
OMG, the shoulder squeeze! Partners! "Phyllis is the vivacious one and Del has a sharp wit." <3
The racing-the-clock part hurts me particularly keen. And o, thank you, because I'd forgotten the story about the previous marriage (and holy FUCK, how much must that have hurt) until you reminded me.
Well, my understanding is that after the cancellation of the first set of weddings, they were one of the lawsuits that led to the current set, so a) they didn't take it lying down and b) hey, the law actually helping people!
