For those of you who have not already seen this breaking across Facebook, Google+, or Twitter tonight,

We were already planning this before today’s Washington state law signed by Governor Christine Gregoire. In fact, we are planning this as part of a Grand Four-Day Weekend of Marriage and Music, starting off with seeing these handsome boys perform on the night of March 1st! On March 2nd, Dara and I (and two other friends of ours who I will not identify publicly so as to respect their privacy, but who will be joining us for a dual ceremony) will be taking the appropriate steps to get legally married in Canada! On March 3rd, we will have yet more music as we attend Festival du Bois!
Mad props to gerimaple
I have been asked as well if Dara and I are planning anything with the new law being passed in Washington state. To this, I note that to the best of our knowledge, if we are legally married in Canada, then that will count in the state of Washington–assuming that the law is not shot down in November. So for now we will be focusing on Canadian marriage fun, and getting in a boatload of awesome Quebecois music to go with it. :D
And! And! And! This being my and Dara’s 25th year of being together, there’s a whole extra layer of anniversarial awesomeness to celebrate here as well! So if you’re so inclined, raise a jar on March 2nd and think of us!

25 years... I had no idea. You're already an old married couple. Best wishes to you.

And now we're the only couple of my acquaintance in our age group who can bounce like teenage girls at a Great Big Sea show, and who can hold entire conversations in parrot talk. Yes, folks, this is what a relationship looks like twenty-five years in! ;D

And yeah, it's kind of staggering when we think about it, but we've been together pretty much all of my adult life. \0/

Don't want to be the wet blanket on the joyous celebration, just want to be looking out for your best interests as much as possible.

It's sweet that you are renewing your vows with a new license. And Canada is a fine place for a 25th wedding anniversary--Amy and I celebrated ours with a vacation to Seattle, but we drove the scenic way on the Transcanada Highway.

And yeah, we love Vancouver a lot and go up there any chance we get. But this'll be a particularly splendid reason to do so!

Dara was making cracks about getting married again on our 50th, but on the MOON. \0/
