The right to marry

I am very excited and happy about what happened in Canada's parliament today: the same-sex marriage bill passed. Woohoo! Apparently we're the third country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage.

In celebration, I wrote a drabble for the fandom "Once a Thief." The first fandom I ever wrote in, it's conveniently set in Canada.

Wedding Bells, Reprised


"I don't know," Li Ann said, straightening Mac's bow tie. "This kind of thing has never worked for any of us before."

"This time is different," Mac assured her. "It's more than just being in love. We've had each others' backs for years. We know each other. We trust each other."

She nodded, smiling. "You're going to be great together."

Out in the chapel, Dobrinsky had started playing the wedding march. Li Ann gave Mac a shove. "That's your cue!"

He met Vic at the altar, both of them grinning from ear to ear.

"I do."

"I do."

They kissed.

Hurrah!
Remind me which the other tow countries are, would you?

Dunno! The CBC article I read didn't specify; it just said we were the third.

Belgium and the Netherlands.

Thanks...
...you did know I meant "two countries" not "low countries, right?!

That's great news! I don't know the fandom, but I think I get the gist of the drabble anyway :)

Yet one more reason to move much farther North. San Francisco rocks my world, but Canada seems to have their act together way more than even we do.

Go y'all!
