i'd like to take a moment to worship the fabulous wedding blog, something old, something new, for bringing awareness to the fact that this week is the 12th annual freedom to marry week (february 8th-14th).
as many of you know, i am fortunate enough to soon be marrying the person i love. both my and steve's wish is that every couple will be given the same opportunity -- wholeheartedly, legally, and without prejudice.
learn more about the freedom to marriage coalition here. click here to learn how you can get involved.
and, click here to show your support of mackenzie of something old, something new for expressing her support for the equal right to marriage. although many of mackenzie's readers supported her choice, others did not.
thank you, mackenzie! you're the queen of class, darling.
xoxo,
tula

How did I not know about this? Thanks for posting this, Tula. And thanks to Something Old and Something New for supporting Freedom to Marry. I read a lot of wedding blogs when I was getting married and found a lot of them to be rather...straight. I don't think I ever saw anything written up on gay marriage or weddings. Such a shame.

Yay! I too hope everyone will be able to marry one day soon.

I had no idea! Now that is something worth celebrating ... and hoping for.

Wow. This has been going on for 12 years? Amazing, yet sad that it hasn't happened yet :(

Mackenzie is great. Hers is the only "wedding" blog I still read since my wedding a year and a half ago. Mostly because she features a lot of things that are just interesting or beautiful, not necessarily wedding-related.
