DMark, you and your gusband are an inspiration to gledglings (gay fledglings) everywhere. I look forward to the day when I can say I’ve been with my partner for 33 years, and be married to them, and have decades of memories together 🙂 Congratulations. ---

Nice to see you two crazy kids making it official! Both versions of your wedding story are lovely, and it sounds like your wedding day ended as every wedding day should, with two people thinking “I don’t know what the hell just happened, but at least it means you’re stuck with me forever.” Congrats! ---

Congrats! > [@DMark](#): > > Seeing our dismay, and hearing we had flown in from Nevada just for this purpose, the nice clerk in the license office said, “Hold on a minute.” She made a call and said, “I can get you in – NOW – but you have to go immediately – there is only 15 minutes between ceremonies she can fit you in.” I love this…when people find a way to make something important work out. 🙂 ---

What were you thinking? Mayonnaise doesn’t belong on french fries. But, hey, congratulations on that whole wedding thing. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > What were you thinking? > > Mayonnaise doesn’t belong on french fries. > > But, hey, congratulations on that whole wedding thing. I like mayo on fries! Anyway, the part about the story I like best was when the OP described himself and spouse as being “cheap, easy, and quick” or something close to that. Too bad you weren’t in Kansas, I could have got a fancy cake done for you. But then, you couldn’t have got married here. I’ve yet to do a cake with two grooms. ---

Congrats! What a wonderful story, especially the reception. We’ve sworn not to get married until we can do it here in Ohio . . . sadly, not any time soon. ---

LOVE it… After 20 something years together, we eloped too… My husband and I got married in Indio when marriage became legal in California the first time for five minutes… while we were both dressed in shorts and t-shirts under a plastic arbor in an empty “chapel”, because they got us in a few minutes after we filled out the license. You’re role models for us “young-uns”… Congrats! ---

Congratulations from me too! I am _ **so** _ gonna use that term from now on, it’s perfect. I am so glad that there is occasional tangible proof of the world getting a little more enlightened. (Otherwise, it’s a bit harder to believe.) ---

Aren’t elopements great? Ours involved exchanging vows in front of a notary we’d just met in her bookkeeping office (notaries can do the deed in Florida) then driving thru McD’s for lunch before rushing back to work. We’re coming up on 30 years, so you should be able to manage at least that many more! Congrats and much happies to you both! ---
