I'm actually crying I'm so happy right now!

This calls for a large class of to celebrate!

[ComposHat]

Ehen someone is rampantly as homophobic as goliath I often wonder what the hell are they do frightened about? Live and let life.

Relax goliath no one is going to make you marry a woman against your will or make you lezz it up with them . Unless you really want them to and you don't right?

here the link again for any one bigot that may of missed it, best set of photos I have ever seen I think.

[fatlazymummy]

quote they're lovely photos. I don't understand how anyone can be opposed to other people being so happy.
If I had been an MP I would have been proud and happy to vote for this bill. It's a nice thing to do for the 'people' - makes some people very happy without hurting anyone else.

Thanks for the congrats - I am surprised that Rebel admitted to being my partner on here. She likes her independence!

Fortunately I have been hanging around on AIBU so have got great tips for wedding etiquette. I am particularly looking forward to writing to people only inviting specific members of the family and setting out why the others are inadequate.

[EduCated]

Will you let them choose which offspring to bring, in the case of them having more acceptable children than you wish to cater for?

[Flobbadobs]

quote those pics are fab, especially the ones of Phyllis and Connie
Congrats to everyone on here getting married too xx

[NorksAreMessy]

WOW, an actual MN proposal.
CONGRATULATIONS hermione and rebel

I am proud to live in a country where you can be married and wish you continuing happiness and love

< ponders MN wedding...POMBEAR confetti? >

As the unofficial supplier of tiaras to the MN community, I would like to offer you each one for the wedding, as a present

[mumnotmachine]

So for couples who have already had a civil ceremony, will they have to go through it all again to be recognised as marriage? Or will any CPs already in place be issued with a marriage certificate?

[hermioneweasley]

Norms, that is very, very kind.

We had talked about it in a "why not have another party?" type way, but no specific plans as yet!

[stickingattwo]

If you already have a CP you can choose to to keep that or you can go back to the town hall etc and have it changed to marriage for a small fee. Or of course you could go the whole hog and have a MASSIVE ceremony with all the bells and whistles... me and my dp will be sneaking off to the town hall and doing it quietly and then having a party a bit later I think and as we already had our 'wedding' the 1st time around.

to hermione and rebel

marks place for possible bridesmaids duties

[oreocookiez]

its Adam and Eve in the bible NOT Adam and Steve...

[MeerkatMerkin]

Wow, oreo, are you actually 15? Didn't realise the schools had broken up.

[oreocookiez]

I read that in that crappy tabloid The Sun whilst queing up for a coffee at the station...

[AuroraAlfresco]

It's fabtastic news, though as others have said, it's simply making things normal and right and should have been done a long, long time ago

C'mon, Scotland - hurry up and catch up!!

[Flobbadobs]

A friend of mine who was a very vocal campaigner for this keeps posting up links on FB to outraged Internet articles about gay marriage and correcting the spelling and grammar on the comments sections...
I keep checking back to see who he's ripped to shreds this time!

[EduCated]

Have you had a look at the links, oreo?

[Wbdn28]

Certainly not all Christians by any means are against gay marriage. And there are organisations like Inclusive Church and the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement challenging discrimination and working towards inclusivity. The LGCM offers resources such as this leaflet on Homosexuality and Christianity. There are even some evangelicals, such as the well-known Steve Chalke, who support gay marriage.

[Bumpotato]

You do know that Adam and Eve didn't exist, Oreo, right?

[jidelgin]

YANBU!! It's fuckin fantastic - if Britney Spears can get married for 55 minutes then why the hell can't I? (hopefully actual gay marriage between Mrs and Mrs Jid lasting longer than an hour)
Are you listening Australia? The world is watching your sad ass dragging approach!

[magimedi]

Congratulations to Hermione & Rebel

Please, please do your invitation in verse!!

[HorryIsUpduffed]

David and Jonathan are in the Bible too.

Oreo, do you like Disneyland by any chance?

[HelenMumsnet]

Oooh, oooh, oooh: did someone say I do??

[hermioneweasley]

we will set out in a lovely poem that only cash will do as a gift.

I really didn't mean to get the MN collective so excited!

[stickingattwo]

The thing is Oreo - it IS Adam and Steve, sometimes. AND Adam and Eve. AND George and Sally. AND Sarah and Lucy. AND... get my drift??
