“Bride” and “Groom” restored to California marriage licenses!
Most of you are probably familiar with this story in which a Placer County couple was prohibited from naming themselves “bride” and “groom” on their marriage license, being required instead to identify as gender-neutral “Party A” and “Party B”.
Well, it seems the California Department of Health has relented and will be providing forms with the old bride and groom designations – this time as an option – beginning November 17.
It’s never a slow news day in the Golden State.

About
I’m a married father of six, a traditional Catholic, and a fourth-generation Californian living in Chico. In this space you can expect commentary on religion, culture, politics, local history, and things of personal interest. The title of this weblog is an allusion to an obscure bit of Chico history linking the forest in our neighborhood to the mystical Sherwood Forest of merrie olde England. I can be reached by e-mail at: jeff dot culbreath at gmail dot com.

- "If a conservative order is indeed to return, we ought to know the tradition which is attached to it, so that we may rebuild society; if it is not to be restored, still we ought to understand conservative ideas so that we may rake from the ashes what scorched fragments of civilizations escape the conflagration of unchecked will and appetite." - Russell Kirk
How nice of them to agree that many thousands of years of human history isn’t totally bosh. Who knows, maybe some day they’ll figure out that babies in mommy’s tummy are babies.
