Okay, so law get a special dispensation *giggle* On the Vermont thing, it is *not* marriage, as defined by your court and everday usuage. It is a registered partnership, which allows for the couple to have the advantages of legal marriage (property and taxes easements). However, it i s only good in Vermont and perhaps NH ( I forget).And if the couple move anywhere else in the US, they will have a tough time with local laws (see Texas, Florida, et al). Since it is not a Federal law, states are free to diregard other laws that states set on citizens. They usually don't, but they do.
Huh, I hadn't realized that - obviously. Well, then yes, Americans will be increasing our tourist revenues with their weddings, I would think. *g* So that's why we did it!
LOL! But seriously, I am happy that Canada has chosen to honor the right to pursue happiness...something that I thought the USA was supposed to be about...

Re: So use them. Please.
No, Canadian law should never be cut tagged. Not ever. It gets special dispensation!
