Hooray for love!

There are two significant parts to this wedding:

1.) The Princess Bride theme based on William Goldman's 1973 fantasy novel.   Along with our two "Princess Bride" Brides, attending the wedding were Westley, Inigo Montoya, Prince Humperdinck, Fezzik, The Grandson and Grandfather (the whole event planning team!!), The Albino, Miracle Max, Queens, Pirates, The Brute squad, ROUS's AND Shrieking eels. Read the book, then see the movie...so great.

2.) Historical June 26th:
06/26/2003: a divided Court said in Lawrence v. Texas that a Texas law making it a crime for two persons of the same sex to engage in intimate sexual conduct was unconstitutional.
06/26/2013:  a divided Court in United States v. Windsor said that the Defense of Marriage Act (or DOMA) was unconstitutional as a “deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment.”
06/26/2015: The Supreme Court legalized a national right to same-sex marriages. SOURCE
​​06/26/2016: Jada and Katharine wed after 24 years of commitment 

I really cannot think of a better way to start the week than to be a part of history. All you need is love.
