We want to thank Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the state Legislature and the people of New York for passing and implementing the gay marriage law one year ago. The law finally allowed us to legally celebrate our 34-year relationship with marriage.
We also want to thank Senate Deputy Minority Leader Neil Breslin, the owners of Rocks, and our best man for making our wedding ceremony a truly great one. And thanks to the Times Union that has been so supportive on this issue.
We so much wanted to celebrate our first anniversary in Albany but, unfortunately, circumstances prevented that. However, our collective memory of that day burns brightly.
