i marched in the pride parade, got married and went to disneyland!
the gayest sequence of events in my life!
marching at pride is a yearly event; my husband does it with his job and i join him. so that was on june 29th, then on the 2nd of july we had our courthouse wedding! we originally wanted to get married during pride month proper, but there was no availability— probably all the other gays with the same idea the courthouse ceremony was tiny, just us and two friends as witnesses. in august we have our "full" wedding at a nice venue, with family and friends present. the august ceremony is being held in maryland, where my husband's family is, so it made more sense for us to be legally married in our home state rather than getting our marriage license over there. tiny as it was, the courthouse ceremony was still lovely. the judge was very nice and it was a beautiful day outside. we exchanged miniature vows and silicone rings, and in august we'll be reading our full, unabridged vows and upgrade to our nice pretty metal rings. i think the only thing keeping me from crying was the fact that my vows were so short...i may not survive the full reading with my makeup intact
then, the day after the courthouse, my mom took us to disneyland to celebrate! a little weird that my mom was present for what was technically our honeymoon, but we all had fun, lol. it was fucking hot as balls out though. and it was SO crowded on the 4th because they had a special fireworks show that people were very aggressive about seeing. we saw way too many people screaming and swearing at the park staff, one guy even had security called on him because he was being so aggressive toward a female cast member. like...dawg chill the fuck out it's a 10-minute fireworks display. this 20 year old employee is not responsible for you failing to show up until after the show started. other than that night, though, the trip was super fun. we ate a disgusting amount of food and my husband cried when he met spiderman
all this stuff is why i've been mostly absent from the internet lately. this is the most exciting summer i've had in a while!
