Here comes DuPree....la, la-la-la...

I know it's been a little while since I've blogged.  The onset of Spring and sunshine and flowers has been quite a distraction.

But I return with triumphant news!

DuPree is officially engaged!

We decided this past weekend that there was no better way to celebrate our upcoming 20th anniversary than to tie the knot.

So - with a target date of June, 2011 - we'll be working on the details, setting aside the funds, and planning for a fabulous bash.

The great news is that we have a choice of states in which we can now get legally hitched.  And with a year's advance notice - we might even be able to get married in our own state of New York.  But the good news is that even if we don't have marriage equality in NY by then - New York state does recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.

We're fortunate to have lots and lots of family in states where same-sex marriage is available - specifically Vermont and Connecticut - so we have lots of options available to us.

Anyway - that's the latest, kittens. 

But please don't start looking at Corelle patterns or linens - after 20 years, we may be wrapping up possessions we already have and handing them out to the guests as favors.  We have waaaay too much stuff.

Cheers!

Congratulations!! Wonderful news! I'm just so thrilled for you! It must be wedding season because you are the second blogger this week to announce his engagement. Who is going to be number three?

We got married just 22 months ago, in California. At the time it was the only state that allowed it for out-of-staters. Massachusetts had marriage equality, but only for legal residents. They since changed that law. Now you have plenty of choices, all within driving distance! How fortunate you are.

Who popped the question? Any big, dramatic scenes? Tell us more! I'm such a romantic :-)

BTW, I found the third blogger who got engaged. He is Blobby from "Blobby's Blog". The second one is Kelly from "Rambling Along in Life". Now I'm wondering, will there be a fourth engagement announced?
