So Hanna and I are getting married in September. I’m sure I’ll be writing more on this topic in the months to come.
And my friend Molly is nearing the end of a really hard pregnancy. Please think of her and her family as they prepare to welcome a wee Westerman into the world.

Congratulations Anna & to your partner Hanna. Looking forward to hearing about the formalisation of your togetherness & public commitment to each other.
Congrats to you both!
I tend to get cynical or at least doubtful about the institution of marriage. That being said, the one thing that makes me warm & fuzzy about it at all is gay marriage.
Thank you all for your kind words! I’m looking forward to sharing our plans too, as they evolve, both here and at the feminist librarian.
@veganmarcy, I feel a bit the same way, which is something that I need to process as I move toward tying the knot. While I’m obviously making a life with Hanna because she’s who I want to make a life with … I think if we were a hetero couple I might feel more emotional resistance to getting straight-married. Whereas getting gay-married I’m totally down with. I think because it feels like there’s less heteronormative baggage around the event. But I have a certain measure of guilt over this, like it’s a form of queer privilege that I can get married without the bullshit.
Then I remember that my home state passed a law back in 2004 making it illegal for me to get married … and I stop feeling quite so privileged about it
