Pictures and a ketubahJamie and Erika's wedding day started out more leisurely for most of the family members, but not for the bride and groom - Jamie had to sneak in bites of a sandwich while we were taking the official wedding pictures. The pictures were followed by the signing of the ketubah, the Jewish marriage contract, stating that Jamie and Erika had entered into their union this day on "Kerem Martha".
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts marriage certificate is completely gender-neutral: it has two sides, "Party A" and "Party B", with spaces for "Party A Sex" and "Party B Sex", as well as "Surname After Marriage" for each Party (useful for Jamie and Erika, who are both changing their names). I don't have pictures of the ceremony itself as I was in it, but after I finish getting up my pictures from the entire weekend, I'll post a few of the best from others who did capture more.

Meanwhile, in the face of mounting evidence (and, more importantly, plunging poll numbers), the Washington Post abandons its practice of parroting all Bush Administration propaganda and relegating truth to "administration critics argue that...". Instead, on today's front page, the paper runs an article that actually rebuts, point by point, the latest bald-faced Administration lies. Go mainstream media! posted on Nov 12, 2005 6:36 pm (comment) Penultimate ironyMassachusetts House Speaker Tom Finneran, on the proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage: Voters must be given a chance to speak. They have the penultimate constitutional authority, not four judges.Finneran is known for not following the expressed will of the voters when it suits him - for example, he refused to fund a Clean Elections measure passed by voters in 1998. So was this an ironic misunderstanding of the word penultimate, or a very clever truth? posted on Feb 10, 2004 5:04 pm (comment) | Blog ArchivesMost Popular Tags |
