I suppose I really should mention...

[tcpip]

... that I suggested to caseopaya that we get a civil union in accordance with Victorian law.

She said yes.

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

Congratulations!

Fixed markup error and the answer is "yes, sort of". A very "modern marriage" if you like. :)

[zey.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to you both! :)

[mr-figgy.livejournal.com]

Did this happen before or after I appeared? :P

Congratulations!

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

It was that evening, shortly after you left :)

[mr-orgue.livejournal.com]

Wahey! great news!

(y'know, Cal and I have struggled to find a good way to refer to each other; Civil Union Partner is terrible! We've defaulted to "husband" and "wife" (usually delivered in semi-ironic tone) even though we are expressly forbidden from using those terms in any formal sense. Be interested to see what you come up with!)

"S/he's my unionist"? :)

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

w00t! :D *confetti*

"Marriage is currently in two part. There is the legal part of it, then there is the ceremonial part." = sounds like what D & I did. ;D

Congratulations to you both, m'dears. May your union always be on your own terms, and no one else's. :) *hugs*

The Union makes us strong :)

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Heheh... It does sound a little like what you and D did. But I don't think we could quite match how you managed to effectively elope and have a public ceremony :)

You have any tips for me LOL If you think Lev and I have discussed it further than the "Yes" you've got to be kidding :)

[caseopaya.livejournal.com]

By the way, I'm still in shock :)

Congratulations are in order then. Bravo to the both of you!

I now have a mental image of you trying to coax the animals into teeny tiny little tuxes. :P

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Indeed... I wonder whether over time such a variation will pick up particular traction?

[amarafox.livejournal.com]

Congratulations :D

[notthebuddha.livejournal.com]

Congrtulations!

Do you have to get civilly united? :)

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Well... it's probably the best way that the legal benefits of what we're already doing I suppose without the ideological baggage.

[cheshirenoir.livejournal.com]

Heehee!

One of ussss! One of ussss!

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Why are you hissing like a snake? ;)

(Yeah, took me long enough, eh?)

[ehintz.livejournal.com]

Ahh, congrats mate...

We're sort of the yank equivalent, having become commonlaw in Texas back around '95 or so. :)

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Even in Texas? Guess there is still room for progressive thinking there..

[splodgenoodles.livejournal.com]

How fabulous! It's a great and wonderful thing to do.
