Anticipating high court's blessing, same-sex couples plan weddings
Mark Phariss and Vic Holmes, of Plano, Texas, enjoy a Saturday at their lake house in Gun Barrel City, Texas.
Mark Phariss and Vic Holmes have sent out "Save the Date" cards and plunked down thousands of dollars for their November wedding, which promises to be Texas-style big.
Partners Tim Love, left, and Lawrence Ysunza with their dog Stella in Louisville.
Plaintiffs in the Kentucky litigation that has been consolidated at the Supreme Court along with cases from Ohio, Michigan and Tennessee, the pair will have been together 35 years this October. That's the month they've picked to wed at Clifton Universalist Unitarian Church in Louisville.
"We want to make sure we have a place," Love says about making reservations before the Supreme Court rules. "That's a special date for us already."
Church officials are as eager as Love and Ysunza, both 56, to begin holding gay weddings. Ever since Kentucky banned same-sex marriages in 2004, the small, progressive church has refused to hold any weddings, gay or straight. Now it plans to hold a full weekend of ceremonies after the high court rules.

If it does, I think it would represent one of the fastest & most profound shifts in the American public's thinking in American history. And I would think that many other progressive civil rights groups could benefit greatly from the expertise these amazing men and women glbt people have brought to our country through their loving and awesome spirits.
public opinion was still majority against SSM.
to cash in on social movements and phenomenon.
Just jumping on a train that's already rolling. 
Good news, everybody!
Except maybe you, Scalia, and your three pals...you hateful old poops!
and surrounded by 'CONs. Not a good place to be.
The only place I know and too dang old to move so I have to make the best of it. I'm old enough to not give a tinkers damn what I say or do as long as its the right thing.
My hope is all is well with you 
kind of weather.
Sympathize SO much with your being surrounded by Cons. I'm originally from Nebraska and felt like some kind of misfit all of my mispent youth!
