Its a civil union and the church is only a dressing for sanctimonious hoopla.personally i think marriage is a crock, to some its a symbol but usually one thats usually ignored after a while.
According to the Republicans its supposed to be held as a sacred union between a man and a woman even though it is just a civil ceremony and they use the outdated twisted views of the bible to justify there reasoning.
if people want to sanctify their love then so be it. but let everyone sanctify it. maybe not in church because there the church and not the law sets the rules (within certain criteria) but everyone should be allowed the civility of a civil wedding.
