[Of course, the headline once again makes activists in the bi community wince. We really do have to go around wearing our labels on our shirtsleeves. Robyn is a (now) married monogamous BISEXUAL. Rather famously and outspokenly so. -Thomas

A Carefully Considered Rush to the Altar
Lesbian Pair Wed After 7 Years Together

BROOKLINE, Mass., May 17 — There’s a tale Robyn Ochs and Peg Preble like to tell, about a strange Australian bird whose lifetime is spent in quest of blue treasure — berries and flower petals, bottle caps and bits of trash, all blue to mimic the satin bower bird’s own handsome plumage. The bounty is put on display come spring, creating a blue runway for the bird’s mating dance.

It was this story that inspired Ochs one cold morning last November to leave a trail of blue trinkets from the coffee maker on the kitchen counter out the door and into the yard, where Preble found a pretty blue tin beneath the tree. There was a note inside.

“Peg, will you marry me?” it read.

Together for seven years and in love, they believed, forever, the couple realized that a legal marathon had just turned into a wind sprint in Massachusetts, with same-sex marriages about to be validated for the first time in American history. On Monday, the wedding day they never dared dream they might have dawned cloudy and cool, with Ochs and Preble up before 5, hoping to be first in line at their nearest town hall. With Preble, 46, astride her silver motorcycle and Ochs, 45, in the sidecar, they led a wedding caravan of engaged couples from their predominantly gay neighborhood.
