Well Amigos, it was bound to happen sooner or later and now it’s a current event. The old woman Slow and Pretty have applied for a marriage license right here in Columbia, South Carolina. Well, I never. Seriously. I never thought they would be able to make honest women of themselves after almost fourteen years of the ups and downs of married life without the benefits of legal paperwork.
And of course, leave it to them to be interviewed in their car by Fox News just as they were leaving the courthouse. That’s right – look them up in cyberspace: http://www.foxcarolina.com/story/26734913/gay-marriage-licenses-issued-in-south-carolina. The old woman Slow has a few words about icing on the cake, which is naturally what she would be thinking about on her Marriage Application Day. Don’t blink or you’ll miss them, but there they are big as Ike.
Pretty’s family is from the upstate Greenville/Spartanburg area so it was only fitting that the Fox station doing the interview was from Greenville. Imagine her aunts and uncles and cousins sitting down for dinner watching the Evening News and asking each other if that wasn’t Pretty on TV trying to marry the old woman Slow. Oh my goodness.
They look happy, don’t they? I haven’t heard any talk about weddings so that’s probably a different topic for on down the road.
Get me outta here Percy…all this good cheer exhausts me…I’m afraid it might be contagious…

Ann, this is amazing – it’s been a roller coaster of excitement this week with hourly changes as the politicos gave it their last best shot and we’ll see what happens next. Basically, our probate Judge called us yesterday to tell us our application had been delayed pending the ruling of another Judge so we are in limbo. The video has been fun for Teresa and me. She tells me I look younger with my new glasses. That is laughable, but at least she’s still looking!! If we are issued the license, we must wait until you will come for the wedding. 🙂

You do look young with your new glasses. Teresa is right! What a kick to see you both on the news. I’ve heard your voice, but to see you “live” was a lot of fun. If you are issued a license, and I hope it happens, I’ll do my best to get down there for the wedding. I just keep pinching myself. Who would have thought this would ever be possible???!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you. 🙂

Thanks so much, Ann!! If I’d known our getting married would get you down for a visit, I would’ve moved the judicial system a little quicker!! 🙂
The week has been so unbelievable, and we pinch ourselves and each other, too…:)
I was interviewed yesterday morning by a woman from our local “progressive” paper called The Free Times – Teresa was at work and the woman called me on the phone so I can only hope for the best!
I envy your Zeus times!!
We send Paw Snaps and Twirls to you all from South Carolina tonight,
Slow and Pretty and the Pack

Red is rarely on his best behavior and we wouldn’t dream of a wedding without him…:)
I do love the idea of a little tux for him, though, for the something new!
Honestly, I’m so old I never could imagine this – so many have struggled so long and to finally have it almost a reality where we live is incredible. Amazing. Awesome.
Thank you for hanging in here with us for the ride. 🙂
