Very nice!! And to think that Prop 8 shit almost ruined it, in all places. I’m a resident out here and I’m glad we could (finally) help tie the knot. Two people love each other, want to take vows, DO IT. And you did! Best wishes to you and “Gusband”. (I love that new word!) ---

You had cake with thousands of people in attendance. You may add to the cake two dozen oatmeal raisin cookies that I ate over a two day period that encompassed your wedding day. I ate those cookies in celebration of your wedding. Best wishes for the two of you. ---

Excellente **DMark**! I have always enjoyed your posts. They will probably be even better now that you are not living in sin. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story! ---

Thirty-three years together? Do you realize the pressure you’re putting on the rest of us? Any normal person would be on their third wedding by now. Congrats! ---

A semi-serious question. If you have a “gusband” what would two married ladies get ? ---

UPDATE: First off all, thanks again all for the great congrats and funny comments! I have started making some calls, now that we are legally married, and have already lowered our car insurance monthly payments! Yeah! I have also made a call regarding lowering our health insurance costs, and should be hearing back from them in the next day or two. They seemed to think this would indeed make a difference in the monthly rate there as well. So - looks like we are already reaping one reward, taxes will be a huge reward come January, and following up with other things to see what immediate benefits we might be getting. We newlyweds are all atwitter with the benefits so far! Of course, now that we are an old married couple, we don’t gussy up anymore - only a matter of time before one or both of us is running around the house wearing a moo-moo and wearing curlers in our sparse hair.
