60 Moments That Gave Me The Chills During Seattle's First Day Of Marriage Equality
Relive one of the most emotionally exhausting days of my life, when 138 couples got married in downtown Seattle on the first day gay marriage was officially legal. Wow.
1. The first I time got chills was when I got to City Hall and saw these women showing off their homemade "23" bouquets for 23 years together.
2. Then when these guys shared this moment while they were waiting in line to get married.
3. When these two guys wouldn't stop smiling at each other.
4. And when their friends and families wouldn't stop smiling either.
5. I got chills when this family wouldn't stop smiling.
They were the best.
6. When this kid was jumping up and down waiting in line because he was so excited for his moms.
7. When this woman was finally able to kiss her bride.
8. And the moment after that.
9. And the moment after that.
10. Really, one of the most emotional moments was the hug after the first kiss.

Tears in my eyes!! I figure with all the nasty stuff going on lately, some happy was in order. We just found out yesterday my partner's half-brother is now formally engaged to the lovely man he has been with for 14yrs, and they are having much fun making wedding plans. :)
As for comments on this piece, they so far do not seem to be too bad... shocking!
