I wish this couple a very happy and healthy life together. Hopefully their country will one day allow them to marry legally in the eyes of the law.
@Borax Very nicely put.

Are the rules slightly different in different prefectures? I only ask because most people I've spoken to have submitted their tax returns in the last two weeks.
