Cody will be taking Robert Harmon's last name, there will hopefully be a honeymoon cruise and they laugh at the same non-sequiturs. It's true love. The only thing they didn't know 24 hours ago was whether they could actually get married.

Even after hearing the news today that U.S. District Judge Michael McShane had decided that Oregon's ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, there was still the little problem of convincing the boss to let them go early. Cody and Robert share the same boss.

They had a marriage license to acquire and a wedding to get to at the Melody Ballroom, where dozens of volunteers had been working tirelessly and excitedly all day to ensure gay couples could tie the knot on such a historical day.

Oregon United for Marriage held a press conference at noon to celebrate and read some of Judge McShane's ruling, and then it was on to create wedding memories in the only way Portland knows how: creatively and in-the-moment.

So, with something we'll just call a blessing from their boss, Cody and Robert Harmon arrived at the Melody Ballroom about a quarter to 10 p.m., the cutoff for any more weddings that day. There was a scramble to find an officiant, but the wedding came together quickly after that. So quickly, that a television news crew wanted the couple to wait ten minutes to broadcast the recessional live, where the last of the day's crowd sang "Chapel of Love" and tossed flower petals upon the newlyweds.
