On this beautiful snowy morning, Jamie Brundage and I got married at City Hall in Burlington, VT. We had an amazing Justice of the Peace, Gloria Gil, (pictured below)who was just incredible and made the ceremony at her home a joyous occasion. She has a wonderful cat and a really cool exotic bird too – and they get along.
So….It’s official — I’m hitched!!!
I met Jamie, who is originally from Cairo, Nebraska, five years ago in New York City online and the rest is history. We will be having an exciting party in the summer when Vermont is pretty and green. Thank you to friends and family (Shout out to my mother and father and grandma) for your love and support. We greatly appreciate it and it means a great deal to us.
And a major THANK YOU to the marriage equality advocates in Vermont and at the national level, particularly Freedom to Marry founder Evan Wolfson, who made this dream-like day possible.
So, here’s to hoping I’ll be a better husband than Newt! :)
Congratulations! I hope you’re as happy as my wife and I have been.
Congratulations! Wishing you many healthy and happy years together. And thank you for all of your hard work and inspiration on behalf of equality.
Mazel tov, you two! Nice ring, too!
congrats!
Congratulations Wayne and Jamie!
Have fun destroying the fabric of America!
Actually, you both look far too nice for that.
Congratulations! Enjoy your time together as you far outlast Newt Gingrich in marital longevity and love.
Also have fun frightening pathetic wingnuts with your love (that’s what we all want gay marriage for, right? Or is scaring them just a perk?)
Sweet! And a sweet couple. Thanks for sharing your day with us. I Lovermont. I love my home state of Maine, too, where I’ll be moving to in July. Big vote in November! Maybe I’ll be able to get married there after Election Day!
Congratulations!
Awesome!! Congrats to the happy couple! Maybe some day soon, we, too, can wed in Texas!! :)
Congratulations to both of you, and thanks for all the groundbreaking, lifesaving work you do.
Hey Wayne…!
Congrats to you two on this day. That is great news.I am very happy for you.
Congratulations to the both of you. All the best in your future together! Peace!
Congrats to both of you.
Congratulations to you both. Very happy and pleased for you, albeit very jealous as we in Australia are still fighting for marriage equality. One day, we hope in the not too distant future, my boyfriend of 23 years and I will be able to marry and share your joy! Keep up the good fight!
Congratulations from Canada! Our very best wishes to you both, Wayne and Jamie! You have beaten my partner and I to the alter. Deb and I are celebrating our 15th year by getting married on the 30th. It should only happen to more of our community and given your good work, I’m certain it will. All the best in 2012 and beyond. – Judith
Ten thousand blessings!!!!
Many happy years together, for two wonderful men.

Congratulations! My best wishes to you both for a lifetime of shared joys!
How wonderful! Bless you both and let me extend a heartfelt congratulations from me and on behalf of Genesee County PFLAG, Flint, MI Keith VanCamp
My husband of 3 or 9 years (depending on how one calculates), Josh and I wish you every happiness from California. Regardless of what people think/feel about marriage theoretically, it DOES make a difference being legally married. It’s not called “tying the knot” for nothing. Here’s toasting you both that your knot gets tighter and tighter as each day, month, and year passes!
Congratulations!!! What a nice surprise when I opened my email. Mazeltov!
Congratulations you two!! :-)
Wishing you many years of happiness together and everything you wish for yourselves. Long life, good health, abundance, exciting adventures, peace and comfort, fun, laughter, learning and growing.
Blessed be
Congratulations, Wayne 7 Jamie, much love and happiness, always.

Congrats! So nice when two people can be with each other and in love. Much happiness. :o)
congratulations – all the very best to you both.
Hey!! That’s fabulous! Congratulations (and you deserve a kiss each).
Congratulations! Although it really is a fact that Love Makes A Family, but it is also incredibly satisfying that you get to satisfy the dream and become one. I look forward to the day when folks in Oregon can get married, regardless of who they love.
Awe, you and Jamie warm my heart. I wish you many years of wedded bliss. You look blissfully happy in your pics, please stay that way :) Thanks for including the pic of your mom hopefully one day you will bless her with grandchildren. We mothers may not verbalize that to our children but we all hope to be blessed with grandchildren.
I am so happy for you. This is great! It is possible because of the hard work to do the right thing.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Next August (2012), it will 40 years that my partner and I have been living together. No marriage possible in Pennsylvania yet!
Hearty congratulations from The Rev. Canon Richard T. Nolan (retired, Episcopal Church) and Robert Pingpank.
