You got married in LA when we were in San Diego and we were not invited?!? :mad:
Congratulations! Here’s wishing the two of you very long, very happy lives together. 
It is about damned time 
Seriously congrats and best wishes

I thought it was my own original idea - and due to your post, looked it up. Apparently this is already a word - from the Urban Dictionary - although then it was used to describe the Gay friend of a hetero woman who would go shopping and see shows with her, etc. So, I guess I have borrowed a term after all, and just tweaked it to mean a “real” Gusband.
It really was fun! Newly hitched and then walking through the nice, sunny Farmers Market amidst the throngs of (unknowing) well wishers. However, they hit me up for $12 parking for about an hour and 20 minutes of wandering around in there…
We have started the adoption papers for little Ryan Gosling - to give him a nice home - but so far, we have not heard back from him nor gotten the signed paperwork.
And it is exactly those 33 years of being together that sort of made a big wedding/big reception idea sort of silly. Way back when, we signed Domestic Partners paperworks in West Hollywood - which at that time had zero benefits - then we signed the Domestic Partners paperwork in Nevada which has a small parcel of rights attached - but now that we are officially married in California, this will make ALL the difference in a whole bunch of legal and financial documents that are current and upcoming…so while the actual wedding was great, it was really done for the benefits that come along with it.
Yep, that about sums it up perfectly!
We are tolerant of Frenchfriephobics - and if you believe mayo on the pomme frite is wrong, well - that is your right to think so…thankfully the DOMAyo laws for condiments on vegetables were stricken down recently.
Although I understand your sentiment and political staunch, I think we didn’t have the luxury of waiting until it is legal in Nevada (probably about 2-4 years, according to news reports) and need those legal and financial benefits sooner than later. The tipping point was when I read the military was allowing people leave to fly to states to get married where it is legal, regardless of where they actually lived - and that was a huge indication that there are quite a few more federal laws that are going to get in line quickly.
I hope I read a happy marriage thread for you soon.
From your wedding garb to our wedding attire, we are giving a bad name to faaabulous when it comes to Gay men’s normal sense of style - ruining yet another nice stereotype…damn.
Was your lunch the dowry? Wow - and I thought we were cheap, quick and easy - you should have been our wedding planner!
I kind of hate using the word “husband”, as that immediately implies there is a “wife” (old habits in language die hard), thus I will use Gusband or any other term. Maybe when this immediate assumption of Husband + Wife ends, I might use it - but for the time being (and I think a long time in the future), it just rings wrong in my ears.
Yeah - we have a few friends in LA who I think might be slightly miffed - but as you see, we really couldn’t have invited them even if we wanted to, as the ceremony was sudden and unexpected and the next day we would have all been dressed with nowhere to go - well, I suppose we could have met at Denny’s for a skillet or somethin’…
Thank you all for the well-wishes!
Despite my often flippant answers and commentary on the actual events, it really was a meaningful event and we are quite happy to have done it, and have the actual paperwork to prove it.
That said, PLEASE continue with any snarky congrats and comments - you guys are sort of like the reception line we never had, and I can fully envision you smartasses out there, just waiting to get up and say your two cents when you greet us!
I find it really amusing that you spent 33 years together, made these wedding plans, travelled to another state and then had to run and have the ceremony squeezed in between 15 minute intervals.
Congrats to you both. We’re planning on joining the wedded bliss brigade in the next year.
Congrats! Here’s to another 33 years!
It’s a German thing.

Congrats and make that honeymoon last a long, long time. With or without mayo.
Congratulations! Felicitations! and best wishes for a wonderful life together.
Mazel tov, Mr. & Mr. DMark!
Have you been talking to my uncles or something? They just did the same thing, except in Iowa because it was closer.
I’ve been giving them their alone time, so I don’t know if they have such an impressive story to tell. But that was just awesome. Congratulations to you and the gister.
Wooo! <Muppet arms>
Congratulations, you two!
Parabéns e os melhores desejos !!!
