25¢ says the Iowa judge will be overturned.....I'd love to lose that bet.

A man & a woman can go get a civil marriage with no church officials in sight....

My proposal is that any couple who wishes to be 'married' should have a number of types of 'contracts' available, or even submit their own for approval, and therafter be bound by what they sign....and NO requirement as to M/F, M/M, F/F...ot other possibilities. IF they are same sex and want a religious ceremony and find a religious group who will allow it...fine... Let it be between themselves and their God.

I am rather tired of folks pointing and complaining that someone else's ceremony 'makes a mockery' or their own. POOH!
