We Celebrate the Freedom to Marry
Why do so many churches fear gay marriage?
The crusade for Proposition 8 was fueled by the broken American family,
explains gay Catholic author Richard Rodriguez.

Weddings at First United
On May 15, 2008,
the California Supreme Court ruled that the right to marry
extends to all couples. We celebrate this decision which gives
same-gender couples the freedom to marry in California. We congratulate all
couples who have been married in this new “Summer of Love.” On November 4,
some voters in California passed Proposition 8, which attempts to embed a policy
of discrimination into the state constitution. See the links at right for
further information.
We invite those who are planning to be married to let us help you plan your
wedding.
Pastor Susan has been an officiant at many weddings and specializes in working
with couples to design a ceremony that is personal and meaningful. She has
worked with church members, as well as those who consider themselves “spiritual
but not religious.” She also has experience with interfaith couples and
families, incorporating traditions from both families in an authentic way.
Even though First United itself is a “church without walls” (which means that
we do not own our own building), there are many locations from which to choose.
We rent a lovely
chapel at First Unitarian Universalist Church in San Francisco, which
may be available for your wedding.
The Main
Post Chapel at the Presidio is another beautiful venue. We will work
with you to find the best place for your wedding to be held.
Fees vary with the services you require. For more information, contact the
church office at 415-359-1025, or
