RIP RBG

So you didn't waste any time at all once same sex marriage became legal. Was there any discussion or anything before to gage your interest? I'd be terrified to ask if I wasn't 100% sure what the answer would be. I'm about 99% sure now, but there's still some doubt. When we started dating marriage wasn't important to me, but it's become something I think about often since gotten older. I don't want the spectacle of a big gay wedding and would be happy with a small ceremony with our parents and a huge after party.
Honestly I never thought I’d meet someone that I TRULY couldn’t live without. Everyone before her, I apparently didn’t really love. Or love in the way that lasts forever.
I reckon we spoke of getting married here or there along the line but certainly wasn’t important to me. My parents were married and divorce to each other, twice. It just seemed to me like a piece of paper that could be tossed away on a whim.
But I changed my mind when Barbie asked me. I saw it as a way to show the world how I felt. And I know she deserves that.
Soooo
I hate weddings. Oh boy how boring. Especially Catholic weddings, sorry.
Now the reception, that’s a whole different story!
Her sister and her nephew came to the beach with us for the wedding and we partied at the Japanese place afterward, all of us stoned :eyesmoke:
Do you LG. Don’t ever worry about what other people want or think, especially about love. Those who love you will always support you.

Yes, I will be honored to officiate your wedding. Thanks for asking.

That's exactly how I felt about marriage. We've been together for six years and living together for just over five years. I don't like when people call her my "girlfriend", I never call her that. And it would be awesome to let the world know committed we are to each other. She's only the second person I've been with, it was hard to meet people living in a small town of 30k people and I was too young to go to the clubs. The first girl I dated in university was so hot, like a perfect ten in every way except her mind. I should have known better, she's married now... to a man. :confused:

I'm not going to do anything while the weight of covid is hanging so heavy, but my patience has limits.

You gotta get ordained, it's free! I wanna be married by a dudest priest.

by the way you describe that......the person is your mate, aka life partner..........and I have to say, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all...take your time.....when the time is right...boom on to the next step....we have something down here called common law marriage, its when your together but don't have a pieace of paper defining it....

I suppose a Pastafarian Minister is out of the question, eh?

We have common law here too but it differs from marriage slightly in that there's no spousal support for the first three years and you're only entitled to a share of jointly purchased assets, same with debt. And if one dies intestate the surviving spouse gets nothing.

Could you imagine having someone wearing a colander on their head in your wedding photos?

Hmmm, how bout a nudist priest? That I can do.

We're going for not a spectacle.

I think I derailed @mysunnyboy 's thread. Sorry back on track.

That's the same here as well......or shall I say very similar....

it's amazing how a pieace of paper changes things overall.....
 
I'm going to derail this thread because it's not everyday that you get lesbians willing to talk about their personal lives and marriage. So my questions are…
1. Is it hard to find someone ordained to marry you?
2. Can I make a decent living doing this?
3. Is "I love the gays and I will marry you" a good tag line for my new business?

I really do love you gals.

I don't see why it can't just be the same. I know a couple that have a cohabitation agreement to share all assets and debt 50/50 which seems like a good idea. A will is super important if you're going to live together and have no plans on ever getting married.

  1. In Canada no it's easy. Public officials cannot refuse to perform same sex marriages. Religious officials can refuse but I don't know many gay people who are very religious. Personally I'd never get married in a church. I was at a wedding a couple years ago and they went for a quicky wedding at city hall for the official ceremony then had a drag queen Courtney Conquer perform a big unofficial ceremony for all their friends... that was a spectacle but it was a lot of fun!
  2. As a hetero I think it would be difficult finding clients.
  3. Needs more work.

I'm with you on why it can't be the same, in all honestly it all about the paper how unfortunate it is. Those are two good ideas overall....1: a contract of agreement (which Is nice) and 2: a living will and testament..... nothing wrong with any of that.....

now to the marriage part.....why do you need for someone to say you are married aka priest/priestess....how about you 2 take a get away for 2, bring some rings and a bonding wrap basically wrapping you hands together, find a beautiful spot you both agree on, go there and say your vows to each other, put the rings on, and then wrap you hands together and kiss to seal it.........and your done, between you and your partner and your maker....easy peasy....

The general agreement went out the door when Palimony was defined.

Palimony

Palimony is the division of financial assets and real property on the termination of a personal live-in relationship wherein the parties are not legally married. The term palimony is not a legal or historical term, but rather a colloquial portmanteau of the words pal and alimony. Wikipedia
