Love 'n' Marriage Day in MA - May 17!

May 17 is the first day same-sex marriages are allowed in Massachusetts. Anyone else feel like celebrating together?

How about this? We show up en masse at our local town halls. We each come with a bouquet of flowers or two. As the couples leave, we each give one flower to each couple.

Other ideas?

Cool idea, Dave. I won't be able to apply for my license until the 18th, but I can at least go to City Hall for a bit and lend support.

I'd love to do this at my end of the state, though I wonder whether we'll have couples queueing up for licenses in North Adams. I know one couple who's planning to get a license in Williamstown, the next town over, but in NoAd...? Still, it can't hurt to show up with some flowers on my lunch break, just in case.
