Eve Elzenga and Annette Dragon was married Lake. And they had a civil union in Vermont, a reciprocal benefits agreement in Hawaii and a national ceremony of partnership and commitment in Maine.
One could say that they love marriages. And love to marry. Therefore, since same-sex marriage will soon be legal in the State of New York, they are listed, why not throw one party?
Suddenly, there are more options.
"It is finally coming to our civil rights full, ties with other couples married in the State of New York", said Elzenga. "It is a celebration."
This is what Elzenga, an event planner and Dragon, a wedding photographer, better. This will be the first potentially many parts of same-sex marriage, that they have involved sex as Elzenga launch of a marriage of targeted business to couples in planning.
Therefore on 24 July, when same-sex marriage is legalized in the State of New York, the couple hosted a party of marriage of the theme "new york State of Mind" - a colour of lavender and silver set with the Empire State Building as the emblem.
Sunday was a great day for the celebration of marriage in the State of Minnesota. Locally, the city of Brighton and the city of Rochester had overtime in the Office of the Registrar of marriage licence applications, and many judges throughout the State are make himself available for ceremonies, ready to waive the normal 24 hour waiting period associated with a marriage licence.
Elzenga, making it a memorable wedding day, special and beautiful is an art form. "new york Gay Wedding Consultant" will work out of a tea house built in the garden of the couple, a structure of seven years designed Elzenga itself. It is the nines with elegant details as frameworks of lattice window and memories of the ceremonies completed bars.
It is also filled with photos of happy, loving same sex couples on the days of their marriage ceremonies, photographed by Dragon. Couples dance, smile, laugh - moments that can inspire the brides and grooms - be. The ideal place for a wedding.
Elzenga, a resident of birth, State of New York has developed hundreds of weddings and events and has experience in fundraising for universities. Dragon, a Maine native, was a photographer of marriage more than 20 years. They were together for 17 years, resident currently in the city of Rochester.
Through their career, they have learned the magnificent sites and places that any couple - gay or straight - can want for their marriage. Perhaps more specifically, they know the gay-operated businesses and gay-friendly in the region, which Elzenga says that she will be using in its consulting services.
They know how much this means, she said.
"There no peeling of layers here," said Elzenga. "" "". "We are a homosexual couple has been together for 17 years and have been actively involved in the struggle for recognition and legalize same-sex marriage to the United States".
Right again this year is a victory, but Dragon, said, "it is a but." Federal duties, such as those that apply to the taxation and immigration, are not legalized for couples of same sex. Again, marriages for same-sex couples may be more all the sweet, she said, in view of the victory of the civil rights preceding marriage.
"The biggest difference is that a couple of right who is married were not prevented from marrying for their entire lives," says the Dragon. "It is a further sense of joy, because we can finally what everyone can do."
Pastor Jack Porcello, which is with our Rochester Fellowship, is usually about 100 to 150 ceremonies each year of marriage. It provides non-denominational services which are yet spiritual, speaking the words of love and comfort that couples confirm their unions. It provides a year charged in light of the new legislation, he has worked alongside many advocates to help see through legislation.
And he had already obtained from couples on his calendar.
"A couple has been planned to make that a commitment ceremony, but then we decided that wait us and see what would happen with Bill", said Porcello. "The day after the vote has crossed that we were probably on the phone for about an hour just laugh and being excited about everything."
Monday 25 July, Porcello offers discounted services, potentially allow several ceremonies in a single place to celebrate the marriage of happy couples and new rights, that they worked for recognized.
It is not all celebrations, said Porcello. He had some heterosexual couples cancel its services, once they learned that he would perform the ceremony for a same-sex couple. And some chapels that are used by many religions may be unable to host same-sex unions. Some Catholic leaders were openly against gay marriage and may refuse the services performed in a sacred space, Porcello said.
But for the most part, the new marriage equality rights are triggering in many discussions with same-sex couples. Some couples who had civil unions now plan to obtain a marriage licence. For others, it would be just a renewal of the vow. Others can check a box on the application of marriage that specifically calls it a second marriage.
Suddenly, there are more options.
"It's a situation where they are kind of caught off-guard," Porcello said. "" "". "" Do us what everyone does and plan a great ceremony and start a process which can take up to one year or more to do? "" There is much to look at different ways that they now have the possibility of. »
