AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

For a new project, I am collecting the names of couples who were married on June 17th (this year, or previously). If you or anyone you know of was married on this day, please send me the first and last names of each partner and the marriage year.

a good day for love and social justice

Yesterday was our one-year wedding anniversary. At one point my husband and I talked about waiting until same sex marriage was legal, even though we are a heterosexual couple, but decided to marry in celebration of our first decade together. I am proud to say we now share our June 17th Anniversary with many of the first gays and lesbians to marry in the state of CA. Next year we will be sure to celebrate in West Hollywood.

On June 17th, 2008…

“By the end of the day, well over 2,300 marriage licenses had been issued statewide; the vast majority appeared to be to same-sex couples. The statewide average for a weekday in June is 460, according to a Times survey of all 58 counties.
Los Angeles County issued 648 licenses and performed 279 wedding ceremonies, Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan said. That is well above the daily average of 133 licenses in June.” LA Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-marriage18-2008jun18,0,6701919.s...)
