and if you don't frequently use phrases like "degradation of a sacred institution," go check out the wedding photo here. hell, go see it even if you are hard-core conservative. it's sweet and cute and harmless, and the facial expressions are priceless.
the article said they'd been together 50 years. damn. i mean, if you're cool enough that anyone can stand you for fifty years in a row without even some form of contract to add social, religious, and economic pressures to stay together, you deserve something beyond just a wedding certificate. a medal or something. or a winning lottery ticket. well, i suppose the fight against such social pressures prob'ly provides a little determination in itself... but wow.
