How can I begin to describe the lavish wedding of Tom Lang and Alexander Westerhoff, dealers in 18th-century European antiques?

Perhaps by noting the two opera singers and pianist who performed for 20 minutes -- at a cost of $5,000 -- at the Crowell Chapel service in Manchester-by-the Sea, Mass.

Or the seven-foot-high, $2,500 cake, a piece of art that so resembled a Versailles planter with pear tree that guests were shocked to take a bite. The "pears" were hand-blown sugar.

Decorating the church and the couple's home were white roses and white freesia -- $5,000 worth.

as good as any argument for gay marriage that I've heard!

3. My daughter who is a waitress

in a high end restaurant on the island of Kauai loved it when the gays were getting married in SF. Apparently Kauai was one of their honeymoon destinations of choice and the they tip really well. Made up for what otherwise would have been a slow tourist season.

4. And gay divorcees always boost the economy!

Sorry, had to bring a dark note.
