We married the day before Prop 8 was voted in, because we could. It's been great. It changed my "mind set" in that he no longer was a partner I might disagree with, but became, really, my other half. Him being a Scorpio, and Me a Sag. it's been interesting. I called it a "Long Engagement".

said jokingly, "what took you so long?" Vivian said "we had to wait for the law." Then it occurred to me, no law can prevent love.
