For the same-sex wedding of Paula and Gail, I cried. I cried because I am so happy for them and all newly-married same-sex couples. I cried because I'm thankful for policy change for same-sex weddings. I cried because Paula and Gail are two lovely women who have made a beautiful life together and are raising boys with patience, love and determination. Their DC War Memorial Ceremony was officiated by the couple's longtime friend United States Secretary of the Interior and former REI CEO Sally Jewell. Sally spoke from her heart and brought everyone to tears. Their celebration was followed by a dinner at the Jefferson Hotel in DC. A great moment for this wonderful couple.  Cheers Paula and Gail!
