Craig Bowen and Jake Miller were the first couple to get their marriage license and be married in Indianapolis. They've been together for 8 years and when the decision came down this morning, they went down to the county clerk and got married.
I sat here at my desk this morning watching the video of their vows, the tears streaming down my face. We waited 27 years for the right to do this. They had to wait 8.
I'm sure a stay is likely soon, but the handwriting is on the wall. We will not be denied that much longer. Our families will be recognized and we will be given equal status and that is as much what is behind my tears of joy. It's for all of us who have been waiting for this.
