I won't. Apologize, I mean. After all, the civil union IS practically marriage. It's got all the same benefits, I don't see the fuss about it all. Just call the bloody thing marriage because it is, and we can all go about our business.
Though I'd go back to London to get the ceremony done again.
A word of advice, you young chap posting this, water off a duck's back. Your parents are just a product of the times, that's all.
