Consequences for traditional marriages due to SCOTUS ruling

The Supreme Court of the United States has spoken. Today SCOTUS ruled that LOVE IS LOVE which means marriage equality for every couple in this country who has the wish to start a family together. This is big news people. And while most of my gay friends are out and about right now, celebrating in the streets all over the country, waving rainbow flags and singing show tunes…there are doubters that think this decision by the Supreme Court will bring this country to its knees.

There is the Fox News anchor for example who asks the question on live TV this morning: “Can three people marry each other now that gays can?” The answer to that question is NO, you can not. You also can not marry your dog, cat, lizard, horse or other pets you love so dearly. No matter how much you are in love with them. This ruling is for 2 people who are madly in love (or not) with each other. Also, a father cannot marry his son Mr Irons. No way, no how.

And then there are the people who are so upset with this SCOTUS ruling that they want to flee the country and move to Canada as THIS REPORT states. To those frightened folks I say: Please don’t go. You will not be happy in Canada. Not only will they take your beloved firearms from you (that’s a whole nother story) but also is same sex marriage legal in Canada for the last 10 years now.

So, this clearly is upsetting to those who are concerned about the institution of the ‘traditional union’. What are the consequences of this ruling for the ‘one man and one woman marriage’? What will change for the heterosexual couple that is frightened by this decision of the Supreme Court? Well, ask no more as I have written a comprehensive summary of all the things that will change for people living in traditional marriages. You can download this comprehensive and itemized list from the link below. I put it into a PDF format so you can print and pin it right next to your office cubicle, the fridge, the church door…even next to your pillow at night.

So without further ado, here is the downloadable list of items that will change for couples in ‘traditional marriages’ now that SCOTUS ruled equal rights for all: THE LIST

20 years!!
7,305 days.
175,320 hours.
10,519,200 minutes.
And around 631 million seconds of putting up with each other.

Today, exactly 20 years ago, I married my best friend. And I had no idea what the next 20 years would bring.

I love Jackie more today than ever. Which says a lot, because I already liked her quite a bit before. She is my best friend, my business partner, my favorite person to do absolutely nothing with, and somehow the only human alive who can handle my grumpy moods. No really, that alone should win her an award or something. 

When we met, I was still an architect and Jackie was a musical theater actor. Neither of us could have imagined that 20 years later we would be running our own wedding business together, celebrating love for a living, and helping over 1,200 couples create their own love stories. 

We literally spend all our time together. Business, travel, life...and I still wake up every day wanting more of it. That is either true love or early signs of insanity. Probably both.

And to think it all started when I walked down the stairs at Bethesda Terrace and saw her sitting by the fountain…in those ugly pink pants. (Yes, they were that bad. Whole nother story. Ask me about it sometime.)

Twenty years later, we have built this wild, beautiful, unpredictable life together. There have been plot twists, bad haircuts, flight delays, lost luggage, and a whole lot of laughter. And I would not trade a single second of it.

Here is to the next 20 years of chaos, love, and whatever else we get ourselves into. ❤️

If you made it to the end of this post, tell us how we know and met you. Because guess what…you are part of our story too. And we want to hear about it. Thank you for being an integral part of Team Reinking.

We got paired with these two at our 6:54 AM tee time this morning @gallopinghillgolfcourse and right before we teed off, they mentioned they might stop to snap a quick photo for their pregnancy announcement.

Well, what are the odds they got paired with a photographer? So in between bogeys and lost balls, we knocked out an impromptu mini photo shoot. First time for everything, and golf magic at its finest.

Easily the best scorecard moment of the day. 😂
