(24,673 posts)How beautiful and inspirational. I moved from the Atlanta area almost 20 years ago, but then Buckhead was the home of Atlanta's wealthiest, and it was a solidly republican area. How delicious to have this joyous celebration there!
I am so happy for your cousin and all the couples here who are now out of the darkness and into the light.

There was food and drink from all over (neighboring states, as well) for everyone attending. It was just one huge celebration of love and diversity.

(90,803 posts)If you could have heard the elation in my cousin's voice. In both of their voices. Their happiness and excitement was bursting through the phone.

Thanks, Iwillnevergiveup.

(61,721 posts)My pastor discussed it yesterday. It was an awesome sermon. About how the central church hasn't changed yet. But God knows this is happening, and it isn't up to us to represent God's opinion on the matter. And as I watch them on that video, what I felt as happiness for others became elation and joy. And I can't help but think God is pleased that the legal bigotry has ended and Love has won over hate and fear.
It's Monday morning and I'm still married (over 20 years).
