They Can't Take Some Things Away

[clovehitched]

Last year Sylvia and I had our marriage annulled, because the politicians framing the Gender Recognition Act seemed to think that the universe would explode in some sort of horrible logical impossibility if they allowed same sex marriage to exist on a technicality. It seems they thought the solution they came up with didn't matter that much really.

It matters to me. I don't care what anyone says, today is our 9th wedding anniversary.

Happy anniversary sweetheart - I love you.

Aww! Congratulations you two :o)

OTOH as a result of the GRA we get to celebrate four years of being 'officially' married next month after almost seventeen years together, which just goes to show how ridiculous the whole thing is, dunnit?

May there be many more, each happier than the last.

*Hugs* the pair of you :)

An annulment signed under duress because that was the only way to get your gender legally recognised doesn't count for crap. Happy Anniversary to you both!

I completely agree with the above. And wish to add my congratulations as well.

Congratulations to you both. The one upside was you got to get married again, with pretty dresses. But yeah, boo to stupid politicians.

Congrats to you both :-).

I'd love to think it was just because they thought you should have another party, but it really isn't :-(.

Thank you *hugs*

All the climbing I've been doing - it occurs that I may have need of your professional services for my poor abused muscles. Can we sort something out?

[misthawk.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! What is your schedule like in the next couple of weeks? }:)
