Five years ago, Kody and I spent the morning of Dec. 20 being busy — she at Rowland Hall, helping with its food giveaway, and I with a grocery run for my mother. When we met up at home, our phones simultaneously went off with texts, emails and calls.
My brother texted, “Congratulations.” Peggy Tomsic emailed, “We won!” and KSL called saying, “You’re live. Do you have a comment?”
That’s how we learned that U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby had ruled in our favor, finding Utah’s anti-marriage laws unconstitutional. We were getting married!
The next few hours — no, the next few days — remain a blur.
