“My husband framed our marriage license when we recieved it in the mail,”
Ours is in a fireproof lockbox, with the kids’ birth certificates, our discharges from the military, and savings bonds. Mounted on the wall makes it look like a trophy. “Look! I GOT ONE! I am NOT an incel!”
“I was very touched because he did that.”
Mazel tov.
“It is still in the same frame, and always will be.”
I do find that a little distasteful, but whatever floats your wading pool…
“After I heard the news about legalized gay marriage, I just happened to look at my marriage license and my heart sank,”
Good. Get a dry-erase marker and show us on the license where the gay marriage hurt you in any fucking way you self-centered twat.
“it was as though it was stripped of it's value.”
My heart sank when you used the wrong ‘its,’ robbing the entire English Language of any value. Every English Speaker is lessened when you fuck it up that way.
"Marriage is sacred and holy,”
Does that include marriages at a justice of the peace rather than a chapel? Does that include weddings officiated by priestesses or pastors who YOU do not accept as representing God? Either the wrong religion, or the wrong flavor of the right religion, or from a ‘woke’ chuch?
I watched an SCA event wedding between an Italian Mercenary from the 13th Century and a Priestess of Inana from Sumer, officiated by a monk from Lindisfarne, who had internet credentials to perform weddings in that state.
They held the beer they served as more sacred than any of the rest of the ceremony.
“instituted by God Himself,”
He’s not the sole source.
“and the world is destroying it.”
Vegas has had quickie marriages and even quicker divorces for probably your entire life, but granting the exact same status to same-sex couples takes all the holiness out of it?
Back to the licese, where did YOUR experience suffer a change?
