Happy 4th of July!

Giants Clobber The Astros, 13-0
SFist Tonight
Much to the chagrin of social conservatives, a smattering of local progressives, aging hipster homosexuals clinging to their punk-rock status, and the Reverend Fred Phelps (who will be appearing on the steps of City Hall today from 4 - 6:30 p.m., by the way), legal same-sex weddings will take place today. Please do not throw ignited bags of canine fecal matter at him.
While the first and only gay marriage will happen tonight in a private ceremony (read: VIP photo-op) at City Hall, the San Francisco's clerk's office will open at 8 a.m. tomorrow and remain open for wedded bliss until 8 p.m. (Also, the office will open Saturday, June 28, but can only issue up to 250 licenses and conduct 500 marriages each day, according to the Chronicle. The fee for a marriage license, by the way, is $89, and a ceremony costs $67. Whoa.)
Oh, and the Chroncile's Wyatt Buchanan has a handy list detailing the places in each county where you gays can get married. Check it out here.
But before anything, before you sign your life away to someone else? Sign a prenuptial agreement. Why? Seeing as how many of you are, understandably, rushing into bliss tomorrow, a little forethought will come in handy when your husband decides to leave you for the hot, much younger third-party you woefully introduced into your scene of holy matrimony to spice things up. Go here for legal assistance.

That SOB changed his schedule! The hate flyer I received clearly said he would be in SF tomorrow. Now I have to get the eggs and TP ready by this afternoon!
Yes. Please do throw ignited bags of canine fecal matter at Phelps and his coven.
@KatyG:
Footage of you getting ticketed for littering on the steps of City Hall will make for an amusing interlude during the coverage of the whole "event."
has anyone seen wyatt buchanan on that local cable news gabfest? OMG. he's so freekin adorable. I'd gay-marry him in a new york minute.
Drag me off in chains! I'll pass the tin to collect bail :-)
I'll immediately offer defense assistance to anyone carted off to jail for throwing feces at Phelps. Pro bono requirement, here I come.
@ miumiu,
agreed!
um, was the cake a cream pie? Just a wedding cake?
Am I reading too much into this?
If any gay people need a marriage license, you can have mine. Both of them. Barely used.
All I can think about is how delicious that cake in the photo looks. Someone invite me to that wedding!
RobinSF, that was one of the single funniest things you've ever said.....
And the bouquets will be made of pansies. :)
DON'T engage with the Phelps group. they thrive on the energy they get back from their spewed hatred.
Ignore them. That is the thing they want the least.
I looked at that cake and immediately thought "giant ding dong" (because that's what it is). I figured that was some subliminal message. Then I wondered where I could get a cake like that. Yuum.
that is a hostess cupcake blue canary/ Ding dongs have no swirl :)
Seriously. Where'd that cake come from. I want it for my wedding!
