David and Gerald met on a blind date in Alaska a dozen years ago, and it was love at first sight.
On Tuesday, June 17, they went to the San Luis Obispo County Government Center, along California’s scenic Central Coast, and got a marriage license. They were married outside the building, and held hands so tightly that their knuckles were white.
David Robinson and Gerald Lindemulder were the first gay couple legally married in San Luis Obispo County. The men spoke their vows, and the two dozen witnesses cheered. Some blew bubbles. Then they ate cake.
SLO County issued a total of 31 certificates to same-sex couples on Tuesday, according to the county clerk-recorder.
A version of this story was in yesterday’s New Times SLO.
