Last night Moira and I attended a get-together in Montpelier to celebrate the passing of the marriage equality bill in Vermont. We were unsure what the evening would hold in store. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of people that attended and the celebratory feeling in the room. There were numerous, and very entertaining, speeches from key legislators, yummy food and drink and of course a beautiful red-haired baby with a Mohawk! What party would be complete without that?

    Moira and I don't really feel the need to rush to get our marriage license. We had a beautiful ceremony 18 years ago in a small church called All Souls By The Sea in Maine in October. Then on July 7, 2000 we had our civil union in the parlor of our neighbor who was a Justice of the Peace. This time we are thinking about a larger celebration and will likely wait until July 7th of 2010. It will be our 10th anniversary of our civil union and the 19th anniversary of our original commitment ceremony. We hope to have many family members present including our 4 grown children. We'll have the ceremony at our Inn in the beautiful gazebo facing Mount Mansfield.

     At the Inn we have already booked two weddings for the upcoming year and even next year. Both lesbian couples. We hope to share in many more such celebrations. Donomar Inn offers special wedding packages catering to a couple's wants and dreams. We have a wonderful Parson, Annie Alexander-Kramer, an amazing caterer by the name of Tosca Smith, photographers, florists, etc., all working together to make your day as special and memorable as possible!

Feel free to give me a call at the Inn or visit our website for more information.
