		<description><![CDATA[My parent&#039;s marriage was ruined by my mom&#039;s drinking and my dad&#039;s spending habits. Not because Fred and Bobby wanted to get hitched.

That said... Yeah, I don&#039;t feel that religion and scripture have any place dictating who&#039;s entitled to tax breaks, health benefits, hospital visitation, and the adoption of children any more than the state has any place dictating that a religious official &quot;must&quot; perform a ceremony contrary to the beliefs of their sect. Besides, why would I want a ceremony officiated by a group who ostracized me to begin with? 

Render unto Cesar what is Cesar&#039;s (marriage licenses and health department certificates), and render unto God what is God&#039;s (some guy in a dress saying &#039;Okay, they&#039;re married now&#039;), and render unto every member of the populace their right to life, liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness.

Not to mention the fact that, at an average (as of the last time I bothered looking it up, anyhow) cost of $20k for a full-on wedding, do you have any idea what a boon to the economy expanding our marriage/union laws would be? Even at a fraction of that cost. And considering that most couples wouldn&#039;t exactly be going overseas for tailors, cakes, and flowers... At least ninety percent of that would be supporting American businesses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[the double wedding thing is what my middle dau did - first wedding was at the court house with a jp because her fiance had to report in a couple days for training, then when that was all done, they had a public (non-church) sanctified wedding with the fancy dress and dress uniform.  
let everyone who wants one, have a marriage at the courthouse, or elsewhere with a legal type officiant (judge, jp, officer of the court, ect) and then those who have a church with rules and want to have a wedding there, do so. 
two gays getting married sure isn&#039;t going to destroy any marriages, certianly not mine, that was done by a peroxided peice of trash that the ex called a &#039;lady&#039;.... even though she was also married when they were cheating.... but no gays were involved!
