Our Wii Family

Originally uploaded by Daniel Greene

Now that we got the Wii Fit Plus that allows you to create Miis for your pets and weigh them (and track changes), I set up Buxley and Lady. Now we have our whole family represented in Miis. When I saw the screen this morning, it reminded me of those people who have the cutout sticky people on the rear windows of their vehicles. Those people always have straight families: Mother, Father, Daughter, Son, with maybe some cats and dogs. I’ve always thought it would be funny to have stickers of two men and two dogs on the back of my car. Well, this is the closest I’ve come to that yet: my family in Wii Miis.

And yes, I did mean “Our Wii Family” to be a pun of “Our Wee Family.”

Oh, and by the way, Lady’s already lost 2.5 pounds in the past month since we’ve been feeding her less. Yay, Lady!

Um, do I need to say that Wii Fit Plus is a registered trademark of Nintendo, Inc.? =)

Our California Same-Sex Civil Marriage Ceremony

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Andy & I had already been married by our rabbi at Dor Hadash in San Diego on August 8, 2004, but we jumped at the chance to make our partnership legal in California the first Saturday they performed these civil marriages: June 21, 2008. We were married at about 5:30 PM by a deputy named Michael, whom I recognized from the gay community. My friend Paul took this video with my Canon G9 camera, my mom and Andy’s friend David were witnesses, and also present were my mom’s friend Honey and David’s boyfriend Rich. There was an assistant in the room as well.

At the time we were married, this file was too large to upload to YouTube, I didn’t have the software to facilitate closed-captioning it, and YouTube didn’t yet allow for captions to be uploaded to accompany videos. Now, a year later, “we have the technology” (to quote from the opening sequence of The Six Million Dollar Man), and I have the honor of reliving this moment and crying at the wonder of it all.

I just want to say this: Love is gr8. Repeal Prop h8!

Just Married!

Just Married!

I’m posting this on the one-week anniversary of our legal same-sex marriage in California. Since I took it with my Sidekick and uploaded it to Flickr right after our civil ceremony, it’s been viewed (as of this writing) 199 times, had received 53 comments, and 6 people call it a favorite.

A million thanks to all who made it possible for us to get married legally!

About Us

Friday, August 18th, 2006

Andy and Daniel are a very happily married couple. We say “married” not because the state let us, but because we chose to join our lives together in a holy ceremony, and because we have done everything legally binding that current laws allow. Daniel created this site so we could get the cool e-mail addresses and share photos and stories about our little family. And if our family grows, this blog will grow with it!
