I would like to thank:
- My parents and my in-laws (no longer out-laws!) for providing such an excellent example of commitment.
- The Travis County Clerk’s office, specifically:
- Dana Debeauvoir, for leading such a great team who made us feel welcome from beginning to end
- Adrian R., our clerk, who helped us by walking us through the process (and remembering us when we returned to file!)
- Louis L., and his team who made the filing process – well, if not fun, at least painless.
- District Judge Gisela Triana, who made the process of getting a wavier fun.
- Our officiant, who for now chooses to remain anonymous.
- My entire management chain at work, for their well-wishes, and accommodation of missing an entire day on such short notice.
- Hundreds of facebook friends for their likes and congratulations!
- The dozens or hundred of other couples going through the same welcome process – folks were sharing flags, flowers, photos – just about anything to make everyone’s special day…well, special!
- The officiant offering free services outside Judge Triana’s courtroom – we didn’t need you, but we were glad you were there!
- Diane and Torsten, for their insistence on joining us to celebrate afterward.
- Our Esther’s family, for unrestrained joy they all shared with us
- Our daughter, for her patience with both daddies on this historical day
- Cy, for the rest of our lives together. Oh, what the heck, for the past 30 years, too…
- And finally, snarkily, Anton Scalia, for being so wrong about every decision he’s put in writing since joining SCOTUS, that I know when he was this upset that this was DEFINITELY the Right Thing To Do, no hesitation nor doubt on my part.
- And now, really for final finally, our daughter again, for making a joke confusing SCOTUS with SCROTUS. Honestly, folks, that’s what she said. No idea what SCROTUS would stand for, but I ended up giggling almost as hard as she was…
