narcimund 0 #1 April 20, 2004 Well, we got married about 6 weeks ago (thanks for all your congratulations!) but the paperwork was held up in political wrangling. What a screwball situation. The good news is today a judge cleared up the political wrangling about our marriage licence and ordered the state of Oregon to stop stalling and officially register our licence (along with approx. 3000 other licences.) The bad news is that he also ordered the counties to stop issuing new licences until the matter is clarified by the state Supreme Court. He believes (like most other lawyers and judges who have ventured an opinion) that the Supreme Court will order the marriages to resume. So those of us who got in before the door closed are officially, completely, legally married. Those who held out for later will have to wait a while longer.

freeflir29 0 #10 April 21, 2004 I read a funny quote from a soldier in Iraq recently. He was talking about his combat experiences and how it narrows your field of concern. He said...."Who cares about Marthe Stewart........Who cares about gay marriage? This (Life in Iraq) Is REAL life." I thought that kinda put things in perspective.

narcimund 0 #11 April 21, 2004 QuoteWay to act quick!!! Congrats again! There's a sad story though. One couple got their license yesterday, went to the courthouse to have their ceremony in judge's chambers, then returned to have the paperwork filed. But they were too late. The judge hearing the arguments (not the same judge who married them) issued his order while they were in the car between the courthouse and the county records building. Imagine having your ceremony, saying "I do!" to each other, hearing a judge in robes pronounce, "I now declare you married," and then finding out you missed the deadline. Oops! Of course just about everyone agrees they'll be able to file the papers later, but it's still a pain in the ass. Something's definitely wacky in this world. Oh wait. A LOT of things are wacky.
