I Feel Love

2 lovely people I know were married yesterday. They've been in love for as long as I've known them, 15 years or so and the state finally recognizes that their love is just like any other couple's love. Love is nothing to be afraid of...it's ....lovely

Here's the official wedding notice from the NY Times
