Like a horse and carriage

It's a rather exciting time to be in San Francisco. Last Monday was the day gay marriage became legal, and there have been so many beautiful and moving love stories taking place. My favorite story is of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, who were the first couple to be married after being together for nearly 56 years.



And my lovely friend Sooze brought this particular story to my attention via her blog:

Rich and David Speakman were the first couple to be married in Santa Clara county, and they used Bush's economic stimulus check to pay for their wedding.

David Speakman said, "It paid for everything so we should probably send him a thank you note."
