Title: Just asked my wife if she will marry me.
Post by: Cindy on December 07, 2017, 01:04:30 AM
Same sex marriage is now legal in Australia. I asked my wife if she would marry be 30 seconds after the Bill was passed.

She is thinking about it.

How does it work?  Would you have to divorce or have your marriage annulled before remarrying?

She reckoned that since we are already married that we can celebrate as wife and wife anyway.

< to change my birth certificate I would have had to divorce her, I would never do that. Now we are legal again>

Aw, Cindy, I understand exactly what you are doing and know what it would mean to you.  I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope she says "yes", but don't be struck down if she has a difficult time with it.  Still being with you is more than many trans people ever get.  Toni

All dressed in white
Cindy said "Please marry me"
Rebecca said "I might"

Hugs, Devlyn

That is such a cool thing to do Cindy.
You two have a marriage that transcends paperwork and politics.

You may now kiss the brides again and again and again...

Does the new law remove that requirement? It should. If not, that should be the next issue brought up to your legislature.

:

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

Think outside the voice box!

Congratulations Cindy,

All that mushiness has brought tears to my eyes! My wife Deb proposed to me earlier this year and we will have a celebration but like you we would have to divorce to get married and I will never do that.

But you do get a bunch of kudos for proposing! Well done!
