    Hello from Canada, and congratulations to Ziningi & Delisile on their wedding day. I am a lesbian and I had a Holy Union in 2000 and then, when Canada legalized same-sex marriage, my partner and I got ‘wed again.’ It is wonderful events like this that I like to blog on my site
    stories4hotbloodedlesbians.com. I also celebrate lesbians of the past to give a history to the new lesbians coming out. Global issues facing lesbians are also a concern and I try to blog them world wide. My site is stories4hotbloodedlesbians.com and I will be writing an article to celebrate Ziningi and Delisile. Fourteen countries now have legalized same-sex marriage and more will follow. Ziningi and Delisile, may you both be blessed with many happy years together. May each day be a celebration of the “small things.” May love never leave your hearts and home.
    paula.
