My wife and I got married in March for the same reason. We'd planned a wedding with her family's pastor in Maine in July, thinking that we'd be in Pennsylvania for a long time to come, but surprise new job! (We did the July wedding too - so we're married both in the eyes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and in the eyes of the United Church of Christ.) The folks at the town hall in Wellesley were positively giddy when we came in - the town clerk literally LEAPT from her chair to come help us, waving her hand saying, "I'm the one who does marriage licenses!" Welcome to Massachusetts, my friends. Welcome with open arms. Yippee! My wife and I got married in March for the same reason.

I hope we have the chance to meet each other once my family and I are settled up there. (Could be a few months. The dismal housing market means home sales are slow, and we don't want to buy before we sell.) Thanks to all of you for your good wishes!

My wife and I got married here in Boston this past summer - it was an amazing experience. We're lucky, we already had health insurance rights as domestic partners... (of course, I still need to pay the "gay tax" on my wofe's insurance since we're not federally recognized.) I am proud and grateful to be a Mass. resident. Welcome to our fabulous state. :) Congrats!
