It is a great honor to have this site listed on Alltop’s legal page. Even if you have to scroll way down to find my site.

Some couples going through a divorce wish they could make their marriage disappear. For at least two women, their marriage did disappear.
Two Ladies in Waiting takes a fascinating  and fresh look at same-sex marriage, constitutional rights, federalism, civil unions through the lens of their honeymoon. Really good stuff. This is one of the best blog [...]
