    We just got civil unionized in Illinois on 9/10/11. We got legally married in Iowa on 9/8/11 (two years to the date we met!). 

    I finally got a sneak peek at our wedding pics and am excited to share with you all~

    Wow!  Those are beautiful photos!  I love how personal they are, especially the ones with the two of you getting ready.  The love really shines through.

    love the pics!!! i got teary eyed! i have a question maybe someone can clarify...my SO and I are planning a wedding. We were going to get married in Iowa and then have a celebration in our city (Chicago) where the marriage is not recognized, but civil unions are. I was under the impression that if we marry in a state that recognizes gay marriage, it would be recognized as a civil union here automatically. Do we still have to do a civil union through the court here?

    @natp1982:hi! no you dont. you just take your iowa marriage license and walk it over to city hall and somehow they convert it to a civil union.  its like an automatic thing.  we just wanted both :)

    So pretty! I love everything about it: the dress, the necklace, the boat! So beautiful. I loved the bride photo bomb on the bridge too!
