And that somebody's me! If this post goes up when I scheduled it to, the ceremony will have just started.
It's been a crazy year of planning, but everything seems ready to go as planned. Tomorrow we go on a honeymoon and I'm obliged to leave my computer behind, so no blogging until late August.
Debbie and I are both particularly grateful to Judge Vaughan Walker for the early wedding present he gave us this week. His decision striking down the hateful Proposition 8 is filled with powerful reminders of the importance of marriage in society at large, and its importance to married couples. Until marriage is accessible to every loving couple, we'll both feel like our marriage is incomplete, and we're grateful that Judge Walker helped move California and the nation so much closer to true equality.
On a less abstract level, I'm proud to say that my sister-in-law will be marrying the woman of her dreams next year, and we live in hope that her marriage will always and forever carry the same significance in law and custom that our marriage does today.
If anyone cares, there are wedding registries at Amazon.com and Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and no one would stop you from helping cover the costs of our honeymoon through Paypal:
Truth be told, though, we're just as happy to have you honor our wedding by giving to Equality California, which continues its work changing people's minds about marriage equality. Help them end marriage segregation!

Congrats. Take your time and enjoy the day.
Side note: I remember asking my officiant if he performed gay marriages. It was important to me not to be married by some bigot.
Congratulations to you both! Wishing you many happy years ahead.
Congratulations to the both of you! Here's to your happy future together!
Congratulations, Josh, and good for you for your thoughts on Prop 8. I have a niece here in Kansas that I also wish for equal marriage opportunities someday, but Kansas is a bit unlikely to follow California very soon.
Best wishes to you.
Many Congrats!
Congrats!
Oh, happy for both of you! Congratulations and felicitations!
You will be missed until late August.
Except by your wife, I trust.

Congratulations.
Congratulations! I think you'll find, like I did, that it's a lot like being engaged, except everything's legal. ;)
Oh, hey, should I give to Equality California? I'd done so back before Prop. 8 was passed, and I kind of didn't want to again since I thought they'd badly mismanaged the campaigned against it. But are they the best option out there at the moment if you want to support marriage equality in CA?
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Time to celebrate!
