They are positively elegant!

I wish them all the best

[CatWoman]

13. that was my exact same thought

[Aerows]

That look very happy. I'm just glowing inside for them

[peacebird]

27. My thought exactly!

[pepperbear]

36. OMG! Bears are going mainstream!

[eridani]

38. The earlier photo was much more typical of Pacific NW male fashion

Daywear: A flannel shirt and a pair of jeans
Evening wear: A new flannel shirt and a clean pair of jeans.

I think they look absolutely beautiful and wish them all the love and happiness in the world. Very spiffy outfits, too.

[Aristus]

8. k and r--I wish them, and all who are finally able to marry, all the love and joy in the world.

[Nevernose]

9. My first thought was not "Two Gay Dudes Getting Married"

Glad you mentioned the beards. Twenty years ago, even ten or twelve, "Look at the gay men getting married!" would have been my first thought. Now it's "Look at those awesome beards. I wish I could grow a beard like that!"

I like to think that being concerned with great facial hair (rather than other people's genitals) is a positive step in my personal development. The world is changing for the better, slowly but surely, each and every day.

10. that's a wonderful and important observation, Nevernose

bookmarking in my mind

[NICO9000]

11. Good for them!

Congrats guys! They've probably been together for 20 years already anyway, so I'm glad they could make it legal.

12. I didn't know that the Smith Brothers cough drops guys were gay?

[Baitball Blogger]

14. That's a great picture.

[VenusRising]

15. Congratulations to them!!

They look so elegant, and I LOVE the beards!

I wish them all the love and happiness in the world. I'm so glad they get to live their life as a married couple.

[SCVDem]

17. Rather dashing I would say! nt

[Nay]

18. I thought the pic of them in their flannels was cute as heck, but the suits are also great! nt

[Solly Mack]

19. Happy. Joy.

Just look at those faces.

[progressoid]

20. Wonderful.

[cliffordu]

21. Most excellent.

Beautiful.

[Cracklin Charlie]

22. Really?

They weren't cute enough in their flannels?

Very nice1

[JimDandy]

34. The cure for the gay stereotype.

The 2 awesome photos of this couple are quite a juxtaposition. While we are all agog at the roughneck/GQ elegance one-and-the-sameness of their visages, they are simply living their lives.

[LynneSin]

23. The guy on the left looks like he could be Santa Claus

Best of luck to both these guys!

[Odin2005]

24. Those pictures just crack me up!

[ismnotwasm]

25. That is adorable

I don't cry much, and avoid weddings as much as possible, but every one of these makes me tear up. I can hardly wait for my dear Gay friends to get married. I wouldn't miss it for the world


The day after the law passed, I saw a Gay friend and co-worker. We didn't speak, we just gave each other a big hug. A (gay) doctor who knows my friend ( I work in a hospital) saw this, and told him, 'I haven't actually hugged anyone yet' and also gave my friend a big hug.

It was a moment.

[NealK]

26. That's so great!

[dixiegrrrrl]

28. It breaks my heart to see the pics of the oldsters

who have had to wait so damn long to be married.

What a moving photo in the OP.

[eridani]

37. Indeed. Wish this could have been at a 40+ year anniversary celebration.

DH and I will hit our 43rd year next February. Better late than never, though.

[lunatica]

29. I'm so glad to see this photo!

As soon as I realized it was the bearded couple I clicked on the link! They look very handsome!

[PoliticAverse]

30. Best wishes to them. n/t

[Terra Alta]

31. Congrats to them.

I wish them peace, happiness, and a long life together.

[Moonwalk]

32. So wonderfully dapper! I am hopelessly in love with these handsome gentlemen...

...I wish them every happiness and I hope their wedding was everything they'd ever imagined or wished it to be...and more.

[stuntcat]

33. this is the best!

they're just beautiful

[whopis01]

35. I'm not crying - I just got a little equality in my eye!

(Shamelessly stolen from one of the comments on the link - JessStarlite - but I agree with the feeling completely)

[Sophiegirl]

39. The wind must have kicked it up...

...because I got some in my eyes too.

[Crowman1979]

40. I'm so happy for Jackie Broyles!

[Ikonoklast]

41. Why am I reminded of the "Miracle On 34th Street"?

And yes, for some, Christmas arrived a little early this year.

[MadrasT]

42. Kicking 'cause they're so darn cute together.
