I think we made the plans right after her concerted effort to convince me she would be unable to pull the plug on me should I become hospitalized. Playing on my biggest fear of being kept alive and trapped by western medical practitioners - I capitulated and here we are. The wedding itself was not unlike Brooklyn 99's first wedding between Holt and Kevin. I, too, wished the officiant had been more efficient.

This is a good reason to get married, though. My spouse and I married pre-Obergefell. Marriage wasn't an option in our state, and the closest state that would be an option was a seven hour drive. Canada, however, was a six hour drive. So that's where we went. Now, even with Obergefell and RFMA, I want to have as much legal legitimizing as possible, because we live in a conservative state. I had a few surgeries recently, and I did my living will and all of the other forms I could think of to make sure my spouse could handle things for me if needed. The fact that I even have to worry about any of this is so stupid and unfair.
