Happy First Wedding Anniversary To Us

One year ago today, on July 24, 2011, Dan and I were married in Brookhaven, NY. The past year has been full of pleasant surprises now that we're legally married. The biggest surprise is the almost universal support and acceptance of our new legal status with two exceptions: my mother was not happy, and the federal government still doesn't recognize us as married thanks to DOMA. Mom will never chenge. At 86, she won't live long enough to see the light. But by this time next year, the federal government will recognize legally married same sex couples I predict. So happy anniversary to my sweetie...and many more!
