Yes, it's true. Not only are gay marriages legal in Holland, but apparently underaged incestuous marriages are also ok. If we'd only known, we'd have had the girls dress up.During Open Monument Weekend (government and private historic buildings around the country are open to the public) we were wandering through the Leiden Market. In front of City Hall, a woman offered the girls balloons, then asked us to follow her into the building. Without any explanation, she brought us upstairs and into the main hall where a real Justice of the Peace was waiting for the girls with veils, flowers and rings. A small crowd gathered as they walked down the aisle. It was very funny and quite sweet. They are now committed to take care of each other for life. We'll let you know when their gift registry's set up, but in the meantime don't forget to hit that comment button to send your best wishes.

May the bride and bride(?) enjoy a happy, healthy life together. Do they plan on a honeymoon.
Love and best wishes,
Grandpa
Cooper is going to be very disappointed that his girls are now unavailable. Glad you guys are doing such a good job of keeping up your blog. We're having a great time following your adventures. You seem to be making the most of your time in Europe. Take care and keep having fun!
You've shared many interesting things from your travels, but I think this one may take the cake. My best to the newlyweds!!
