After 12 years of domestic partnership now it's really official, the robed lady in the big building says we're married. We now have our piece of paper from the city hall... the same city hall that dared to marry same-sex couples not long ago. Other important robed people in an even larger building decided their pieces of paper were no good. Now they are no longer married for no other reason than their chromosomes go xy and xy or yy and yy.
As unfair as that is, it was good for us because the line was short and we got right in. The entire experience was very enjoyable and perfectly affordable. For less than my fee for a small boat survey we got to exchange vows inside a fantastically beautiful and important looking building. We can now point to that big golden dome from any number of scenic vantage points around the city and say "thats where we got hitched".
