I said, "What if we get married at the Oakland City Clerk’s office? I saw a picture of Kira and Rachel’s ceremony they had there yesterday, and there’s a wedding-ring quilt hanging behind them. So it can’t be all that sterile."
Lala said, "Sounds good."
"And then, what if we walk over to Baggy’s? To have a drink-up after with all our friends? You know, nice and circular, the place where we had our first date….."
"That sounds great."
"Really?"
"I always have fun marrying you," she said.
No date set yet, but I’ll keep you posted. Love is good stuff. Happy Pride.

Inky says
I lurve Lala – she always says just the right things!!
jodi says

Carry says
Awwww…Lala rocks, and so do you. You two give this little lonely lesbian hope ๐
Kelly M says
Yay for true Love! Congratulations indeed!
Lynn in Tucson says
That is impossibly sweet.
Judy H. says
Ain’t love grand? Good for you guys. Almost makes me wish I had a reason to keep marrying my DH over and over. ๐
sil says
Awesome! Then when someone asks if you’re married, you can look all sophisticated and say THREE times. Watch out Zsazsa.
Leslie - knitting therapist says
How happy am I for you that you get to marry such a wonderful partner THREE times?
Kisses to you all.
Becca says
OK, if you guys do it, we’ll do it too. Jane has been saying she thinks it’s important politically, while I’ve been less sure, mainly about the mechanics of re-marrying when we’re legally married already.
Kate Lathrop says
Hurrah for weddings!!!!
My hubby and I did it twice – once with the JP and once in church. Two anniversaries and twice the fun.
Keep us posted!!
jeni says
Yayayayayayayay!
Rachel H says
I have to agree with Lala. I’ve enjoyed each of your weddings too. :o)
Teenuh says
I was wondering if y’all would remarry here! How exciting. Congratulations. ๐
Joan in Reno says
Sounds good for any number of reasons. Have a great time and take plenty of pictures.
Bethany says
“I always have fun marrying you,”
That is the best line ever! I love it.
Julia says
haha! That’s a cute reply :o)
Cassie says
I love you both. I have a wedding ring quilt (top – unfinished) but if you’d want to borrow it, it’s yours.
Beth in Ohio says
OOOOHHH!!
Happy tears for you now!
Congrats!
Would someone please get drunk for me, responsibly of course, to celebrate? Anyone? Mr. Beth is a recovering alcoholic so I just don’t drink anymore either.
Dani in NC says
One of the good things coming out of all this kerfuffle about gay marriage is that you guys have a reason to renew your vows multiple times, which brings your commitment to each other to the forefront more often. We straight folk could do the same thing, but they would look at us as if we were mad :-).
Maia says
Yay! So cute!
Amanda says
How fitting it was to read this today, my 3rd anniversary…..
We were married in the courthouse of the town in NJ where we lived, and then adjorned, with friends, to the nearby diner for our nuptial pancake breakfast.
Several of the others who atended considered it to be the Best Wedding Ever, and I concurred.
So I say GO FOR IT!! ๐
Nell says
That’s the sweetest response I’ve ever heard!
kathleen says
kevin and i have been married been twice. go for it soon!
Astrid says
Awww – that so sweet!
carolyn says
and with this quote, Lala again proves how she rocks the house: “”I always have fun marrying you,” she said.”
woah! ๐
Kira says
That was Rachel’s and my third time getting married, and I think we’re getting the hang of it. The other day at a party I was introduced as someone who was about to get married for the third time, then there was a long awkward pause before the introducer added “to the same person!” as an afterthought.
Incidentally, it’s legal to get married again when you have a valid marriage as long as you’re marrying the same person. Plus, you can wear your dress again (I hadn’t put mine on in the four years since the last wedding).
Julia in T.O. says
Brava honey!
Jan says
When we went to Martinez to get our marriage license, there was a couple who had just gotten married. One woman was in a tux and the other in a dress, and they looked totally over the moon about the whole thing. It’s more about the love than the venue.
We had a commitment ceremony 22 years ago. When we got married last week, it was even better. Love rocks!
And for anyone to whom it applies, your domestic partnership remains intact as long as you marry the same person. Don’t dissolve your DP! Some states that don’t recognize the marriage will recognize the DP.
Best wishes to you and Lala. Enjoy the reaffirmation of your love.
Karen says
words cannot describe the beauty of love and you two certainly have it – you are both so lucky to have each other! Let us all know when the wedding is and I will pop some champagne and toast you both here in Maryland!! Hey other readers, wouldn’t it be fun to celebrate with them?- we could all raise a glass to celebrate them at a chosen time and later we can all tell Rachel the location we are in etc and Rachel and Lala can mark the locations on a big map so they can see where they are being celebrated around the world!!! ok, did I just come up with a cool idea? hugs!…xoxo
Rachel T says
So cute!! and she plays the banjo! Definitely a keeper, better get her to the courthouse quick!

PICAdrienne says
‘I always have fun marrying you.’ That is a funny comment. I thought, at this point, you had only been married once, Lala’s comment makes it sound like it has happened several times. ๐
jessica~ says
“I always have fun marrying you.” That is the best thing I’ve ever heard. Yay!!!!
susan says
i am so happy for the two of you that you now have the LEGAL option to be married in California! yay! LaLa is such a romantic and that was the sweetest thing ever that she said.
isn’t it wonderful when you find your soul-mate?
Kristine says
That’s so fantastic.
At one point, I was stressing out about our impending wedding, and did we want to do thisorthatorohmygod and Robb said to me “You know what I want?” And I said “What?” ready to flay him if it was something even remotely different than anything at all I’d already decided on.
Know what that guy said?
“To marry you.”
Perspective is good. I’m very happy for both of you.
Celia says
You are both unbearably cute. I love you guys!
Amanda says
YAY! That is so awesome – now for the rest of the country to catch on that love is love, no matter what!
