As many of you know, Chad — my partner and best friend of 8 years — tied the knot late last month. We’d like to thank everyone who shared the special day with us (and thankyou cards will be in the mail shortly, we promise :), and hope everyone had a wonderful time. I know our memories will last a life time.

I know for many it was their first same-sex wedding, and hopefully won’t be their last. Unless of course Proposition 8 passes in November, and that my friends, is the hangover.

If Proposition 8 passes, all same-sex weddings in the state of California will come to an end, and may invalidate our own wedding, as well as all gay and lesbian weddings since June of this year. While polls look favorable at the moment, a 50% plus majority rejecting the measure, a lot can change between now and November. If you can, visit NOONPROP8.COM and lend your support.

On a brighter note, we have finally posted our engagement and wedding photos, leading up to and including the ceremony. Post-ceremony pictures will follow later in the week.
