For those of you who have not already seen this breaking across Facebook, Google+, or Twitter tonight, userinfosolarbird and I would like to announce that on March 2nd, we will be getting a Canadian marriage license!

We were already planning this before today’s Washington state law signed by Governor Christine Gregoire. In fact, we are planning this as part of a Grand Four-Day Weekend of Marriage and Music, starting off with seeing these handsome boys perform on the night of March 1st! On March 2nd, Dara and I (and two other friends of ours who I will not identify publicly so as to respect their privacy, but who will be joining us for a dual ceremony) will be taking the appropriate steps to get legally married in Canada! On March 3rd, we will have yet more music as we attend Festival du Bois!

Mad props to userinfogerimaple who has very kindly agreed to put Dara and me up for the weekend!

I have been asked as well if Dara and I are planning anything with the new law being passed in Washington state. To this, I note that to the best of our knowledge, if we are legally married in Canada, then that will count in the state of Washington–assuming that the law is not shot down in November. So for now we will be focusing on Canadian marriage fun, and getting in a boatload of awesome Quebecois music to go with it. :D

And! And! And! This being my and Dara’s 25th year of being together, there’s a whole extra layer of anniversarial awesomeness to celebrate here as well! So if you’re so inclined, raise a jar on March 2nd and think of us!

Congratulations to the two of you! This is so wonderful. I have to admit that I've been wondering about this sort of thing for the two of you for quite a long time.

25 years... I had no idea. You're already an old married couple. Best wishes to you.

Are either of you Canadian citizens? If not, you may want to check and make sure that the recent change in the law by the Harper government has not had an unintended impact on the rights of non-Canadians of the same gender to get married in the Home and Native Land.

Don't want to be the wet blanket on the joyous celebration, just want to be looking out for your best interests as much as possible.

I still think of you two as a young married couple, because you married a few years after Amy and I did. Yet after 25 years, your youth is in the way you act.

It's sweet that you are renewing your vows with a new license. And Canada is a fine place for a 25th wedding anniversary--Amy and I celebrated ours with a vacation to Seattle, but we drove the scenic way on the Transcanada Highway.

When I heard that your governor had signed that law, I cheered aloud to my radio and thought of you two. Happy 25, Happy 1, and a wish for so many happy returns you can celebrate a Golden Anniversary in Base 25.
