Some beautiful moments from the wedding of Niecy Nash & Jessica Betts!

photographer: @robertector

Shoutout to @1eos for pointing out the complete lack of attention for this beautiful couple.

EDIT: The last photo is a behind the scenes suit from a movie they worked together called Claws. Thanks @hundondestiny for pounting out my mistake. :)

I got to marry my wife, and our pupper was our flower girl. 2.5 years ago this wasn’t possible, as it wasn’t legal in Australia. It rained our whole wedding day, but was so worth it in the end with our phenomenal photographer.

ETA: realised the other photos might get lost in the reblog so adding more photos from our sneak peek. And wanted to thank our photographer, Matthew Eastgate Photography & Film, who captured these magical moments.

Further update: little Armstrong - Egan will be here in December 2021

So @veganmikehanlon and I finally got married. They literally sent me a message on here about me being sad over my grandma who had recently passed away in 2018, I bit the bullet and drove over 500 miles to meet them after 3 months of talking and 4 1/2 years, 3 postponed weddings… we got married in the courthouse like the gangsters we are 💍

On Marriage, SCOTUS, and What Comes Next

As someone who met my partner before marriage was legal, was clear about my interest in a lifelong commitment to her whether or not legal structures were available, and who also made the choice to get legally married when it became available, I want to offer love and reassurance as best I can to those folks out there for whom the recent appointment fanned new feelings of urgency and fear. Yes, the future she seems to represent is terrifying, and will make it harder for some of us to protect the kinds of families we want to build.

AND - and I say this with deep love and compassion - I don't want you to feel pressured to get legal married just because suddenly it might be taken away. There are definite upsides to the legal status - tax breaks, property transfers, to some extent family protections, for some of us, immigration status, and in a way that means a lot to me as a currently unemployed person, health insurance where your partner isn't taxed on the cost as though it is additional income. But it is my hope for you that most of those things are not the primary reasons you rush to get legally married. They're side-perks, not the main attraction.

We have been able to get legally married for about five years, and for decades before that we built families, had legal structures to protect our things and our loved ones, and figured out how to live and have partnership. And we did it without the validation of the state.

I do not mean or desire to diminish the real concerns of this moment, nor to appear callous to your fear. I hope instead to reaffirm to you that actually, our communities know how to do this, how to survive without this, and if it becomes necessary, we will pick back up the tools some of us thought we'd put away.

And we will fight, as generations before us have fought, for the livability of all people. Perhaps we will fight to dislodge the centrality of monogamous relationships from their place of primacy as a gatekeeping device that dictates things like tax brackets, citizenship, access to healthcare, and family protections. Perhaps we will seek to dismantle these things also because we know that even if these things remain available to us, they are still out of reach for our friends in the polycule, or our colleagues on Medicare for whom marriage would mean losing their medical access, or our grandma and her boyfriend who would both lose a significant portion of their social security income if they got married.

Perhaps the TL;DR version here is: consider what marriage as a legal institution grants you, and who it leaves out. Not because you should not get married, but because you and the person (or people) you are ideally going to spend the rest of your life choosing every day deserve not to be rushed into it or rubber stamped. People get legally married for lots of good reasons, and also don't get legally married for lots of good reasons. You are not obligated to rush into this complicated legal structure simply because it feels like your window of opportunity is closing.

You have never needed the approval of the state to choose who you want to commit your life to.
