When Roxy and Jordan Davis got engaged in 2009, Proposition 8, banning gay marriage in their home state of California, had recently passed. Instead of saying "I do," both decided, "we won't" until everyone had the right.
"It was a very easy decision to make," said Roxy, 29.
Jordan, also 29, said he couldn't bring himself to justify that gay people were "excluded from this system — and that sucks — but I'm going to take advantage of it."
Gay marriage was legalized in California in 2010, but the U.S. Supreme Court's June 26 decision to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide officially ended Roxy and Jordan's boycott, and they rushed to the Sacramento county clerk's office to finally say their vows.
