Weddings

Somehow, it just started registering on me that same-sex marriage is a reality for millions now. See this story, via Slap Upside the Head.

A little closer to home, Andrew Sullivan is having jitters. And a correspondent and Live Journal friend just posted a brief bit from Argentina, where he and his new husband are on their honeymoon.

That all makes me feel very, very good. Mostly because it's not so remote any more -- it's happening with people I actually know, however remotely.
