"This past Sunday I read what I consider to be the most emotionally moving and terrific human story of all the gay and lesbian NYT wedding announcements ever to hit the pages of the Gray Lady. It was about the decades-long courtship and life-stories of Thea Spyer and Edith Windsor, two senior lesbian partners who've lead colorful lives..

Thea Clara Spyer and Edith Schlain Windsor were married in Toronto on Tuesday. Justice Harvey Brownstone of the North Toronto Family Court officiated at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel...

...Dr. Spyer and Ms. Windsor met in 1965 in New York at Portofino, a restaurant in the West Village...

... Dr. Spyer and Ms. Windsor danced until the impromptu party ended, finally “dancing with our coats on, and other people standing at the door, annoyed, waiting for us,” Ms. Windsor recalled, adding, “She was smarter than hell, beautiful — and sexy.”

...Dr. Spyer, who has become a quadriplegic as a result of advanced multiple sclerosis, said of the weekend, and her time spent with Ms. Windsor: “It was a feeling of complete delight in being with her. I had a real sense of ‘I’ve landed in my life.’

That was 40 years ago..."

That's bittersweet.

Lovely that they've been together for so long and that they're finally married, but so sad that they couldn't make it official till now.

But this is all about celebrating, so....
