We just applied for our marriage license

We can pick it up in 72 hours (actually, Haruka's aunt will get it since we'll both be working and she was our witness).

OMG.

It's totally real now!!!

And, to make it even better: the clerk is an old friend of the family's and has been partnered with the same woman for over 30 years. A good omen.

6. It sort of makes me wonder...

Suppose someone decided to reverse the 13th, 15th, and 19th Amendments? I'd like to think it was a ridiculous notion; but after all that's been done to destroy the Constitution for the last 10 years, it doesn't seem completely impossible. :(

no civil union, no marriage, and no court cases challenging either fact. A liberal state my ass :eyes:

This is Haruka on the phone yesterday with The "Ex:"

The "Ex:" Haruka, you got a package here today from Silver Age Productions.
Haruka: Oh, that's my porn.
The "Ex:" No, seriously, what is it?
Haruka: It's my porn.
The "Ex:" Porn?
Haruka: Yeah, you can watch it, if you want. Just make sure you bring it with you to the wedding.

For example, my first thought is to have a "Haruka on the phone yesterday with me" paradigm.

Nobody really want to go there. Okay, I want to go there like NASA and the moon, but still...
