But at a work happy hour for a large corporation this week, someone announced that he was getting married immediately because he would then be paying much cheaper spouse health insurance rates than domestic partner rates, a difference of $200/month, he said. By January he'd have enough saved to have a destination wedding and big local reception.

YMMV

My company provides the same rates, so there might not be an incentive unless they would lose them altogether.

I promised to do flowers.

And I was so glad to have lived long enough to see both the SC decision and the workplace mores change.

When my employer provided insurance had Domestic Partner coverage, I couldn't claim it on taxes, state or federal or city.
