The Minnesota House voted to extend marriage equality to everyone yesterday. On Monday, the Senate is expected to weigh in, but, provided they have the votes (which many sources say they do), the governor has already promised to sign.
I... uh, could be getting married soon. *gulp*
I mean, YAY!
As I've talked about before, this is just one of those things I made peace with DECADES ago when I came out. Though one of the ways I always knew I was different from the other girls is that I never had the long, involved wedding fantasies they did. So, to suddenly be faced with -- do we get dresses? Rings? A Unitarian minister? Kind of throws me a little.
One thing I've always loved about weddings, though, is getting to dance. So I told Shawn that the one thing I absolutely MUST have at our wedding is a dance hall. I want to dance all night long and I want all our friends--as many who want to/can celebrate with us--to dance and dance and dance (but not until our feet burn up, just until we collapse with joy.)
So, I'll be watching Monday. Fingers crossed.
