That's me on the left, my HUSBAND!! Alex on the right.
Beautiful day, over half the guests were not LGBT, but friends. family, fraternity brothers etc.
[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]
Alex's Mom walked us down the aisle, his step-dad married us.
My parents couldn't make it for health reasons, but the rest of my family was there.

(8,020 posts)..got married in that "window" of legality before prop 8 a few years ago.
They are both in their 80's, and have been together since.... I dunno... childhood, I think.
When we asked if they had a wedding album, they both were like kids... showed us all the pics. Beautiful wedding.
My wife and I were overcome... tears and everything. WHO could deny this basic right to two people in love?
Live long... be happy, guys.
Congratulations you crazy kids!

(6,148 posts)to the world of married life. The day after the wedding it may hit you that one of your objectives in life is now to stay married, stay in love, or stay loving, with this person you committed to yesterday. It can be a test of everything about you, but at the same time, the most wonderful thing in the world. I've clocked 12 years, gone through hell and back and at this point, I know that he is my world and I never want to be with anyone else, and would probably not remarry.
I wish you the best, many years of happiness, and the fortitude to get over each bump that comes, and stay true to your vows.
Congratulations.
