Weddings!!
Unlike most girls, I wasn’t much intrigued by the concept, never fantasized about them. The objects of my future obsessions always involved residences. Endless sketches, fantasies, blueprints, garden designs.
Seriously.
But today I am thinking that it is indeed a wondrous thing that hundreds of weddings might suddenly be celebrated all over the generally unenlightened [truly] state of California.
[Note to those who do not know: This morning the California Supreme Court ruled, in a rather surprising decision, that there was absolute equal protection under the law for all citizens, of whatever sexual orientation, to enjoy the full benefits of the law, including marriage, and that all counties should forthwith make whatever arrangements necessary to allow and implement such marriages.]
I imagine a myriad of celebrations bursting forth across the state, like endless swaths of wildflowers across empty fields, a startling explosion of light, color, joy and good cheer. An influx of happy couples from all over the country, rendering that benighted state a much, much more beauteous – and just – state of mind and place.
