Due to a number of requests, we have been able to arrange for two ways to participate in the wedding ceremony in Toronto on August 6th.  We also still have scholarships available for students on a first come first served basis.

1.  If you would like to be legally married, you will need to make sure you have a marriage license in advance through the Toronto City Hall.  Here is a link to how to go about getting the license before the ceremony. http://www.toronto.ca/registry-services/marriage.htm.  You should know that if you have ever been married, you will have to have your divorce certified through an Ontario lawyer prior to being legally re-married in Ontario.  A lawyer who was recommended to us was
Michael Battista  416-203-2899.

We will have a legal officiant present who can do the necessary steps to finalize the legal parts of the documentation.  If you would like to be legally married, and you have your marriage license, we will meet at the wedding location prior to the ceremony at 6 pm with the officiants to get the

2.  If you want to participate in the ceremony, but for a whole host of reasons do not need or want to be legally married in Canada, you may do that as well.  Many people have contacted us who would LOVE to be in the wedding, but are either already married, have been divorced before, don't want to be legally married in Canada because they want to do this in the US at a later time, etc.  You can still enjoy and participate in this celebration of your relationship.  Just let Jen Weiner know so we can plan for you.  RSVP to jlw154@gmail.com

This is going to be a very special night to celebrate love and to join forces for marriage equality.
Make sure you don't miss out!
