So from a purely economic standpoint, it makes no sense to reject any couple seeking betrothal jewels. I wrote about this topic on my personal blog back in June , when the Supreme Court found a key part of the Defense of Marriage Behave (the U.S. federal regulation that denied the right to liberty and equivalent protection to same-sex couples) unconstitutional.
