Overheard at a Recent Gay Wedding

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Wednesday, June 09, 2010
"Thank God for Massachusetts for letting us come here to get married!"

That's what one of my grooms said at a recent gay wedding during his toast to his friends and family.  These guys and all of their guests (about 20 of them) came here from Florida, spending about $20,000 over the course of the weekend. The Massachusetts economy thanks them.

Did you know that according to Forbes magazine, nationwide legalization of gay marriage is projected to boost the overall wedding industry by $9.5 BILLION a year?
