Product Description
First comes love, then comes marriage unless, of course, you're gay. But when San Francisco's mayor, Gavin Newsom, ordered City Hall to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on February 12th, thousands of gays and lesbians from around the world lined up to take their vows, inspiring other cities to follow suit. As intense public debate continues, We Do is an intimate portrait of these history-making weddings. A many-splendored thing, love is captured here in all its joy and diversity. Drawing on ceremonies from around the country, here are weddings both traditional and unconventional, whether the brides and grooms are in flowing white gowns, business suits, or blue jeans. The result is a touching album of happy couples, from the two lesbians who've been together 51 years to dads with babes in arms. A joyful celebration, We Do stands witness to the fact that we are all created equal in love.

A celebration of civil rights ... June 20, 2004
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
One of the most moving photo-essays I have seen in too long to remember. There are images that are moving, that made me laugh, that brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. This book is essential for the coffee table of anyone who believes in civil rights, or for any family members who aren't yet convinced that two people who love each other should be able to get married, and will be my new wedding gift for any couple, gay or straight. What an amazing tribute to the more than 4,000 couples who battled rain, cold, wind, and hateful protestors to show their love to the world--and most importantly to each other--and to make history at the same time.
