Yes. Because we were going to be in Iowa in November of 2011…and it at the time being one of six states that recognized same-sex marriage, we decided to take the plunge and get married there. But when friends and family found out, everyone wanted to travel to DesMoines but it seemed so unnecessary and impractical so while we had our legal marriage on November 4, 2011, we had a social wedding in a church a week later in Indiana on 11/11/11…poki no hi! It worked out great as we had about 150 family and friends attend the social wedding and reception.
