So, as of 12:01 this morning, same sex marriages have been legal in MN (and Rhode Island!) and I've been getting all teary-eyed looking at all the resulting photos. I've posted a ton to tumblr, but here's a sampling of articles and whatnot. Such happiness and joy!






(this is my Rabbi btw, he volunteered his services to perform any Jewish ceremonies)

there was an article on buzzfeed (i think) and it made me all teary at work! good on your rabbi for volunteering to officiate. and man, the number of couples with kids - and the interracial couples, and the middle aged or older couples, and the couple who made their vows in sign language! - made me so ridiculously happy.

Oh, yes! That buzzfeed article (http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-75-most-unforgettable-moments-from-minnesotas-first-day)! They do great articles - there was a first day of weddings when they became legal in WA showing all the Seattle ones (http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/60-moments-that-gave-me-the-chills-during-seattle)that always tears me up.

I loved the sign language one. And all those kids! I felt a little bad for the poor munchkins having to be awake at 3am or whatever, but they were all SO HAPPY!!! Yay for happy making!!!
