Gay Marriage on NRK

This is kind of funny in an "amazing what a small world it is" kind of way. Someone just sent me a link to a story done by NRK, Norway's BBC, when it became legal to marry in Iowa. They followed a gay couple for two days, recording their experience as they prepared for and said their nuptuals.

What makes it funny is that there's only one degree of separation between me and this couple... the friend (from MN) that sent it on knows them well.

Anyways, the segment lasts about 8 minutes and was aired to millions of viwers about two Sundays ago in Norway. Interesting peice. Thought it was worth sharing -- Enjoy!: http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/indeks/174675

Note -- Just a warning that it might take a bit to load this video (no worries if you see some text in the beginning) and the interviews are all in Norwegian (with subtitles when the couple is talking).
