First Cousins
My Altoona correspondent calls attention to this article from today's WaPo, headlined
"Pa. Cousins Try to Overcome Taboo of 'I Do'"
"To Bypass Ban, Relatives Wed in Md. After Years of Seeking Acceptance"
"To Bypass Ban, Relatives Wed in Md. After Years of Seeking Acceptance"
It is indeed about just what you think.
But such individual dramas could not possibly hold my attention. I am instead far more intrigued to learn that there is an organization called "Cousins United to Defeat Discriminating Laws Through Education" devoted to ending this cold blight on individual freedom.
Yes, I know what the acronym is, and Yes, they have a web site, HERE. [WaPo's link in their article has either crashed, or wasn't right to begin with. Mine should get you there.]
My correspondent warns that this organization is not to be confused with this one.
[UPDATE] Don't miss the Cuddle Store, HERE.

post a commentThis is topic must be one of particular interest to Scarlet Knight since one of his relatives married someone from KY.... the only questions asked of the couple as they applied for their marriage liscense: "are you related? how?" [Note: No, the couple is NOT related and, yes, these would be the same relatives which drew Scarlet Knight to NC for a weekend visit.]
