beautiful and inspiring (and maddening that there is still such a long way to go before we get our full marriage rights!)

Ahh, they're so sweet I'm getting a cavity.

Steve Goldstein has done great work for marriage equality in NJ... by starting a statewide organization and raising funds through his connections... which is probably how he got featured in the NYT. It's all about connections people...

Boy, the one on the right has let himself go.

"Boy, the one on the right has let himself go."
...Is that really what you have to contribute here?

This is really touching! So glad they shared. And Mandy in Yiddish? Love it.

Very nice story. I loved how their Ketubah (marriage contract) looked like a page from a comic book. One correction to the text you wrote, though: Gross and Goldstein were the first same-sex couple in the New York Times Wedding Announcements, not the "Vows" section. "Vows" is a specific series of articles in the Times for which a journalist chooses one couple to interview about their relationship and writes an in-depth feature story on them. The first same-sex couple was not covered in the "Vows" column until May 2003; they were Entertainment Weekly editor Mark Harris and playwright Tony Kushner (http://tinyurl.com/n7psj9).

Wonderful story. My husband and I have the same cool Jewish Ketubah. It is available at MPArtworks.com.
