"I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine," begins the passion-filled wedding invitation from our good friends Wilbert Watkins, Music Conductor, and Jeff Cobb, Realtor. (Both have also been 10,000 Couples contributors.)  July 16 is not just the day they celebrate their 10th year together; it will also become the day they celebrate their wedding. Please join us in congratulating them as they avail themselves of Iowa's legalized same-sex marriage laws and Illinois' Civil Union recognition. They aren't likely to forget this day! 

Congratulations, Wilbert and Jeff, our May 2010 "I Am the Face of Marriage Equality" couple, from all your friends and supporters!

Now see who else is celebrating this month . . .
