Two Soulard Dudes Get Married

Photo from Rue de la Vie by Alecia Hoyt Photography

If you paid attention to local news at all today you likely saw that four same-sex couples got married on Wednesday just before office-closing time. This flies in the face of Missouri law that states marriage is between a man and a woman. Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster filed some sort of legal thing.

Why is this post here? Because two Soulard residents who do a ton for the neighborhood, Richard Eaton and John Durnell, a couple of 39 years, were married. (UPDATE) Here's more on the couple from the Riverfront Times.

Rue de La Vie, video company located in Soulard and run by Islanders, was there to capture the moment.

Ever see something and think "check that off the bucket list" even though you never realized it was there to begin with?

Seeing a marriage proposal at Carson's is one of those things. It is right there by "seeing a marriage proposal at Soulard Oktoberfest."  This happy couple got engaged last night at Carson's.

Then, I broke up a fight.

Lesson: happy couples welcome, fighting not
