Angel and Jay

Photo Blog Hits: 1487

Near sunset on the picturesque beach of St. Petersburg, Florida Pastor Steve Andrews proudly stood before two brides exchanging their vows.  Angel and Jay -nervous, tearful, thrilled- had finally arrived at their Wedding Day, May 15, 2008.  Pastor Andrews announced to the couple and their guests that, serendipitously, this day also marked a landmark decision 3000 miles across the country, by the California Supreme Court to allow same-sex marriage within the Golden State.  Sadly, the legislation did not offer any immediate benefits for Jay and Angel; nonetheless, the historic announcement added greatly to their own joy, bringing them added hope that someday their own commitment would also be recognized.
