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!

So many tears. And I keep hoping, with every state that passes laws legalizing same sex marriage that we get closer and closer to when it won't be tears because it'll be so commonplace it won't be remotely special when two people who love each other get married.

So very true. Though me? Always tears at weddings of all kinds.
