Same Sex Marriage Ban in California
In February 2008, Jo and myself chose to exercise our right as consenting adults to marry. We crafted a pagan ceremony which was meaningful to us, and were married by Patrick McCollum (who also created our rings). During the ceremony we called on pre-Christian deities using authentic ancient spells to sanctify our union.
Jo and I would not have been happy with any other sort of wedding. To choose a celebrant from one of the mainstream churches, or even a civil celebrant, would have been a betrayal of our beliefs. We strongly believe that all adults over the age of consent should have the right to marry whomever they choose, and have the ceremony of their choice.
