We've been engaged for months, but life has gotten in the way of planning an actual wedding, (actually we never really planned to have a big wedding, but...) Rings were selected, sized and purchased, but still no official plan. And with the impending November 4th Vote in CA to abolish Marriage Equality from the state, we decided now was the time.
So off we went… We got our Marriage License on Thursday Afternoon but needed an Officiant to seal the deal. Civil Ceremonies were booked through the Election, but the guy running the License Desk suggested this small Hollywood Wedding Chapel, where they were marrying Gay Couples and assisting with the paperwork (on the quick.)
Last night we sealed the deal, in a little room with an Officiant named Lorelei (a significant name for us.) We exchanged vows and rings, in a simple 8 minute ceremony. Then, we were Married.
We came back to our place for Champagne and Homemade Desserts (by Bloghungry of course.) It was a super casual, stress free night that felt perfectly suited to us as a couple.
So there it is... Married. Legally.

If you live in California, make sure you Vote NO on Prop 8.

Where did you get your license?
Posted by: Doug | October 20, 2008 at 08:04 AM
West Hollywood City Hall is where we got our license. Here's the Los Angeles Court Houses you can do it at:

Congrats! You don't know me, but I've been checking out and trying recipes from the bloghungry site for ages. Delicious! And so, I've been hearing tidbits about the two of you as a couple for as long, and couldn't me happier you were able to have the wedding ceremony that fits you both. All the best!
