I attended this wedding and it was the most beautiful moving wedding I have ever been a part of. It was so moving and their love is so real and strong that their minister was crying. I ended up marrying my Husband of 6 1/2 years later because we were so touched how much this couple loved each other.

document.write(" ");document.write("Until very recently I believed that 'marriage' should not be re-defined. I believed that same sex couples should be offered some form of 'civil union' for legal protections, but that was about it. I can't say that homosexual attraction is 'normal' because for me it is not. But now I see that forcing heterosexual relationships on others is not 'normal' for them either. I believe in a loving, all-inclusive God. How would a loving God comdemn certain people to a painful, loveless, lonely existence and still be a loving God? He wouldn't. As for those who love to quote the Bible, please read more. Also, please note that the state has no desire to force churches to recognize these civil marriages. In the same way that the Roman Catholic church does not recognize unions that take place in courthouses as the sacrament of marriage, they will not be forced to recognize civilly legal same sex marriages. As with every theological issue, should my denomination decide to take a stance that I can not abide, I am free to worship elsewhere.");document.write(" "); document.write(" June 19, 2009, 11:38 AM"); document.write(" | ");

Whether its religiously wrong or not, we should all be able to love and marry who we choose for the most part (don't be marrying a 14yr old if your 30 or marrying your sister or brother though...thats just wrong lol) Think of it financially if needed, more money will be coming in for marriage licenses! | ");

But don't put YOUR ideas of what is moral and common sense on to everyone else... Because I think it's immoral and a huge lack of common sense that would allow a modern citizen to think it's ok to not have equal rights and protections for all citizens under the law!
