At Purple Unions, we take marriage equality seriously. As a gay couple who have been together since 1992, we know that gay and lesbian couples can and do form long-term, stable, supportive relationships, and we believe the institution of marriage and all the responsabilities and benefits that come with it should be opened up to committed gay and lesbian couples everywhere. To this end, we created Purple Unions as a place where gay and lesbian couples can find gay friendly wedding vendors to help them plan their perfect wedding day.

Delaware had a civil unions law that was signed in May, 2011, and took effect in January, 2012. Then on May 7th, 2013, Governor Jack Markell signed the state's marriage equality bill into law, with an effective date of 7/1/13. The state also allows adoption by gay and lesbian couples, and some jurisdictions allow one partner to adopt the other partner's child.

We hope that you find these resources useful, and that you'll join us in the fight for marriage equality!

--Scott & Mark, Purple Unions
