These lovely ladies had been planning their nuptials long before the legislation was in place. But, oh, was the party ON NOW!
In all seriousness, this was one of the most heartfelt and loving events I've ever had the privilege to witness. Every person involved seemed to have just as much love for the brides as the brides had for each other. Take a peek-

We're gonna have to pause for a moment and just appreciate the gorgeousness happening right here- the retro hair, the birdcage veil, the flawless styling and makeup.... I'm gonna need a sec...

OK.. on to the Ceremony. Clarice and Karri had planned to have a non-legal ceremony before the laws were passed, and their lovely mothers were to officiate the commitment. There was no dilemma once it became a legal affair- Both Mammas got ordained for the occasion! Both Brides were escorted down the aisle by their respective proud fathers. The ladies also wrote their own vows to each other-They were so sincere and sweet that there was hardly a dry eye in the house. It was really an intimate and beautiful ceremony.
