Some states never had restrictions on interracial marriage.  For example, New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire never had laws prohibiting interracial marriage.  However, many states did have such laws.  In 1967 the United States Supreme Court held that laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional in the landmark case of Loving v. Virginia.  After that case was decided, all states had to permit interracial marriage.\n\nIf you want to read the case of Loving v.

I thought it was because of Virginia Dare.  The first English baby born in "The New World".  I may be completely wrong though.

It might lead to it in the long run, polygamists might eventually get the court precidence if gay marriage goes through. Legally speaking, it could easily happpen. There really hasn't been "homosexual marriage" in history, but there have been hundreds of societal examples of it being extremely common, and expected, valued, and practiced - the greeks, the spartans, the japanese, etc. It has only been considered 'unnatural' in some western cultures over the past 1,000 years or so. In many cultures, it has only become 'unnatural' in the last 200 years or less, and that is simply because of Western ideals being imported.

The evidence is that people were doing all kinds of ceremonies very far back in time, like there are burials dated well back into the Stone Age.  If they did burials, and they did, they did pretty much the whole gamut of ceremony: crownings and inductions and religious things, and weddings.  So it would be hard to find out when the "first" one was - 30, 50, 75, 100 thousand years is a loooong time.

Licenses to marry have been granted since the Middle Ages. Oh, by the way, congratulations Rondi.

Weddings today are a relatively knew thing.  When my grandparents were married (1917 & 1930) neither had a big church wedding in front of a lot of people, they were married in their parent's homes or in the case of my other grandparents in the home of a friend (their parents were deceased) in front of relatively few people.  Even earlier than that weddings were sometimes held long after a couple announced they wanted to get married if a preacher was not readily available (like in the 1800's during westward expansion where people just settled areas withour having anyone close by they waited for a traveling preacher to marry them at the first opportunity).\n\nThere has always been some type of premarriage arrangement for the announcing of a marriage.  Today we use the marriage license.  Historically you had filed Intentions of Marriage or Banns were posted.  The definition of Banns is a public announcement in a parish church that a marriage is going to take place between two people; the purpose of which was to to enable anyone to raise any legal issues for not being able to marry (which would include a pre-existing marriage that has not been dissolved or annulled, a vow of celibacy, or consanguity).

J&R have satisfied the requirement for what constitute of being married.  The two on the other hand have failed to live up to the Bible's principle of maintianing a good marriage. \n\nC&B seems to be on the right path in abiding with the complete Biblical notion of marriage.
