      <![CDATA["Imagine if the brother had had more time to plan a really big gay wedding!"<br />
<br />
Personally, I think he was forced to have had much MORE time than he should have had to have had...  :(<br />
<br />
While watching the news coverage (wonderful as it was), I made the comment to my wife that I was surprised that there was such a rush to do it quickly, cheaply and in a large groups.  Why the rush?  Why not take your time and actually live the dream...and do the big, fabulous gay wedding?<br />
<br />
...and then my wife reminded me that there's the lingering spectre present that this long overdue opportunity could all be taken away from them somehow...  <br />
<br />
And that made me understand.  (And sad.)  (And angry.)
