We're going to California this New Year's to get a marriage license.
I had hoped it wouldn't come to this. I had hoped that there would be some reasonable sign that Michigan would have marriage equality. There's a glimmer coming, in February, but nobody really knows what to expect.
And we're adults now. We're thinking about buying houses and having children and making more than the poverty lines. We need our affairs to be in order. We can't wait indefinitely, and we shouldn't have to.
So we're having a tiny ceremony in Palm Desert in January. It's not going to be a copy of the one we had before. That one counted before God and the people who support us. This one is mostly for legal purposes, although we will have photos taken and will have a very small gathering once we get back to Michigan.
