Vermont Noteworthy {New from Vermont}
Freedom To Marry
With Vermont joining a handful of other progressive states in legalizing gay marriage, "Till death do you part" is now a pledge that can be made by all. Here come the brides (and grooms)! Gay or straight, the angst, the planning, the worry, the timing... it's all the same.
