We’re eloping to the desert.
At the stroke of midnight, early September 7th, 2008, in Palm Springs California, Mr. Brian Laverne Brock and Mr. David Mitchell Staskowski plan to enter into the the legal and formal union of marriage.
The Left Reverend Col. Ruby Montana will be presiding. We have no clue who our witnesses will be, what song will be played as we walk up the pool side or what flavor the cake will be. But we are going to get married.
We’ve done the registered domestic partner thing in Seattle. We’ve suffered Michigan's 2004 constitution amendment. We’ve gone through the expense of hiring a lawyer to secure power of attorney and rights of survivorship, Now, while the going is good, we’re grabbing the gold rings.
Labor day weekend, we’ll put Sophie and Lucy into the Honda and head west to the Golden State. We plan to arrive in Palm Springs in time to procure the marriage license in Indio and spend the weekend at the Coral Sands. At the stroke of midnight, on the 12th anniversary of our commitment ceremony in Seattle, Reverend Ruby will attempt to finally make us “honest men”.
We’re eloping because we can. We’re eloping because we want to get married. We’re eloping because we think it’s important. We’ve done the catered affair, this time it’s because we want to make it legal, even if it’s temporary.
We’re not doing it to be noticed. But if you plan on being in the neighborhood?
Feel free to join in.

Yay!! Congratulations!! Huzzah!! How far is Palm Springs from Vegas? Wait, come celebrate here after. Either way, I'm really happy for you guys (not that you need it, but you can never have too much happy).
WOW, two wedding celebrations for two great guys!

I've done 2600 weddings this year, but this is the first one to make me cry (and smile at the same time). Is that possible? May your next 12 (+) bring you even more joy.
