Will a stacked Supreme Court overturn my right to marry?
Would I ever be allowed to have children with my fiancee via IUI or IVF?
Will I even be allowed to adopt a child?

If wedohave a child, would we both be able to be their legal parents?
If we cross state lines, would our marriage not be recognized?
Would I not be able to visit my future wife in the hospital if she gets hurt or sick?
Will my family be recognized as a family by my country?
My fiance Liv and I had planned our wedding for November 2025 in our Brooklyn neighborhood.
Our text group chat with our parents agreed, too.
And, if we ever needed to move to another country, the immigration process together might be easier.
I was not alone in this idea.
Clearly, the ticking clock was loud enough for us all to hear.
Both Liv and I had planned to try on wedding dresses today.
Plus, it would be helpful to see her family on this hard day.
I got brunch (and a much-needed mimosa) with two friends, then headed uptown.
However, wedostill intend to have our proper celebration next November.
While we may be acting out of fear, that fear is valid.
With the possibility ofObergefell v. Hodgesgetting overturnedby a stacked Supreme Court, our right to marry is under threat.
