Last Friday we got our license. Saturday we got married.
To my family and friends don't worry, the date is still on for May. Prop 8 polls still change daily from win to loose to win ... I feared we'd loose the chance to marry in my own state.
So I asked K. if she'd marry me now, she said "YES!"
We rode our bikes to Alameda County Center. I'm an East Bay gal so this was perfect. Everyone there was nice, professional. Security asked us right away if we were getting a license. How could they tell the two nervous gals want to wed?
As we filled out forms a family waited nearby for one of their sisters to wed her partner. One of the gals asked "Do you want us to take your picture?"
Soon we were called to the desk to get our license. You get a lot of cool booklets and pamphlets such as info about family planning.
License securely in my backpack we unlocked our bikes and headed back home. We stopped for Thai food along the way and to swing by my favorite bike shop.
At the shop we got congratulations and picked out a short sleeve jersey for K.
Then we headed home.
Although prop 8 did pass I remain hopeful. Please surf over to www.whitehouse.gov and read the Civil Rights goals and aims of OUR President Obama. He has a goal of protecting our rights.
I remain hopeful that more couples can have the happiness we feel right now.
