... that I suggested to [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya that we get a civil union in accordance with Victorian law.

She said yes.

(I "blame", in part, [livejournal.com profile] airiefairie's excellent proposal for ending state-sanctioned marriage in favour of civil unions for all, and [livejournal.com profile] beagl and [livejournal.com profile] kimeros for cutting a similar path. Thanks for the inspiration.)

Congrats.

The common term over here, as they are "Civil Unions" is "getting civilized", as "getting unionised" seems to have the wrong connotations, and whether civilized or not, the term "partner" is a good one. :)

But we can usually trust Lev to go for the uncommon, even when already within the scope of the uncommon. :)

Cake is always required.

PS: I renewed the Lanidale domain a couple of days ago - I assumed that would be OK..

Fantastic excuse for an OTT party.
Also a good excuse to spend far too much money on clothes you'll never wear again. Ok that might just be me (us).

Congratulations.

She said that?
Well frankly i dont care how its called, as long as she's beside me.

You're really taking all this very serious, as i see.

*nods* Yes she did, "Marriages should be left strictly to private religious institutions or social groups... Civil unions, on the other hand, are purely legal constructions with no affiliation to any culture, religion, or social group. That is the domain of the government."

You are in the presence of a wise woman :)

I can recognise that the model proposed is indeed the most beneficial pathway for the future that could keep everyone in the debate happy. So yes, very seriously indeed!

Civil unions are clearly superior to marriage. :)

From: [identity profile] tcpip.livejournal.com
Heheh.. You would say that! :)

I'm wondering if there's an option for people, if they so wish (because I suspect there is a few), to change their status of marriage to a civil union?

(Obviously with jurisdiction caveats etc)
