As many of you know, Billie and I had first planned on going to Vermont for a Civil Union but later on decided on going to Canada instead. Why not? Go a few extra miles for a LEGAL marriage!!!! You can read more about our wedding plans on the OUR WEDDING page.

Also, since both fo us figure we might be moving back to upstate NY one day, I am keeping track of the legal decisions concerning the state of NY recognizing marriages performed elsewhere!!!! Who knows, we just MIGHT move sooner than we had thought. *S*

If you plan on going to Vermont, check with Dorothy Carroll in Bennington. She's a very sweet womyn who was going to preside over our Civil Union. Below are a few more links to check out.

Before you make all your arrangements, please find out all the requirements and various laws of the state you are planning on going to.
