Receipt from Transfer Pizzeria and Cafe |
Last Friday, with the late afternoon announcement that Wisconsin's same-sex marriage ban had been found unconstitutional by a federal judge, Christopher Graham called his partner Andrew Capelle and made a dash for the Milwaukee County Court house - they were getting married!
And marry they did :)
After their own ceremony, the couple stayed to watch other shiny happy people enjoy the freedom to marry, and then headed off to celebrate with friends. They found themselves at Transfer Pizzeria & Cafe where another surprise would cap the happy day.
From Christopher Graham's Facebook:
Yesterday, my husband and I could legally get married in Wisconsin. After our ceremony (and staying to witness several others) we stopped in last night for dinner to celebrate. When the check came, our server, Melissa, told us that our bill had been taken care of by the staff.
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you personally and publicly for the very kind gesture. It was an amazing day that we will never forget, especially how your restaurant and staff made it even more wonderful. Thank you!!
Just goes to show you that Wisconsin was and is more than ready for marriage equality.
If you're in Milwaukee - make sure you stop by and see the warm and friendly folks at the Transfer Pizzeria & Cafe.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
