| 18. I know in France and Italy you have to be married first |

THEN have your religious ceremony. And, in England, they actally stop the ceremony in the middle to go and sign legal papers before they can proceed. Or, at least the wedding I went to.

I use "marriage equality" b/c I think it frames the real issue nicely and isn't too wordy. |
