Here Comes the Brides, All Dressed in...

Went to Southern Village's Outdoors concert series last weekend--almost all weekend--and we were treated (on Friday night) to a free concert by the NC Symphony, in which they played the bridal march.

Thought about this news item: the marriage of the Prime Minister to her partner:

Miss Sigurdardottir, 68, formally married Jonina Leosdottir, a writer, after the couple submitted a demand for their civil union to be transformed into a marriage, the RUV broadcaster said.

Iceland's parliament on June 12 unanimously adopted legislation allowing gay marriage, in a law that came into force on Sunday.

Homosexual couples could previously enter into a civil partnership and benefit from the same rights as heterosexual couples, but this had not been considered a formal marriage.

Miss Sigurdardottir, born in 1942, took power in February 2009. She has lived with Miss Ledsdottir, who is in her fifties, for several years and the couple entered a civil union in 2002.

She is the world's first openly gay head of government.

Give me a break.

Pace!
