I'm getting married...
Thanks to REF 74 I can now marry my partner of 21 years. When we called our local county newspaper to ask about their policy on same-sex engagement notices they said " no one has ever asked before...send your information in". We did but a reporter took it one step further and called for a short interview saying they would like to do a story. It became the top story in this week's edition (slow news week?)

I thought it was kind of cool and progressive of them.

Congrats on your impending nuptials, david! Who cares if it was a slow news week? I think we'd all like to see more coverage of happy events and what could be happier than happy couples tying the knot?

Congrats!!

May you never need that other right you just got, divorce.


But seriously, this is a great event in American history, and you should be proud to be participating in it.

Congratulations!

I never attend weddings, I can't stand seeing the groom settle for second best.

As this topic appeals to the broader FT community let's reposition this thread in CommunityBuzz for all to see.
