Beautiful to see people honor the their commitments to each other through marriage.

I have never been so proud to be married myself. I think my marriage was just strengthened considerably.

I get the sentiment you're expressing but really? through pictures? my goodness any two fools in the world could be photographed together in some nice looking marriage-type clothes for you to think your marriage is strengthened by the sight of them.

Look at their faces. Look at how happy and in love they are. :)

uh...many look happy and in love in pictures. I don't know if that means my marriage gets stronger when I see such pictures.

Doesn't it inspire you to see such happy couples, and remind you of how in love you were with your wife on your wedding day?

Heartwarming pictures such as these, serve as a reminder of the joy and blessings that come with marriage.

If the pictures don't warm your heart, then I would not expect you to understand.

Maybe Stem was born with a heart two sizes too small. Or maybe it was Mormonism that shrunk his heart.

I do not see any marriages, just a series of same-sex couples in formal attire.

They're getting married. People often do that in formal attire.

Here to help!

Yes, and you can call a circle a square but it don't make it so.

What does that have to do with these lovely, happy couples getting married?

They are not getting married; they are getting unionized or domesticated.

That's not a very nice thing to say. They're getting married. Who are you to tell them they're not? How would you like someone to say that about your marriage?

Unless they live in any of these places: http://lesbianlife.about.com/cs/wedding/a/wheremarriage.htm

If they do, their legal union would be called a marriage...

You remind me of the evangelicals who have the audacity to claim that Mormons are not "Christians," as if they owned the trademark on the word.
