The union was witnessed by their four children, Dazmon, 12, Krystin, 11, Brook, 10, and Jessie 6 ; close friends Michelle Neely and Erick Sears; and God. Patterson attended H ug High School in Reno, Nev., and is employed by the U .S . Postal Service. Lutes attended Battle Ground High School. The couple have been together “ since real izing that life is much more beautiful together and that we are literally the perfect fit,” they told Just Out. “ We would like to offer a spe cial thanks to our parents Vicki Jackson and Ken Lutes for understanding why we waited to tell them until the ‘deed was done’ and to two of our siblings, Teresa Jackson and Roy Lutes, for not telling our parents— at least until after the ceremony. The commitment of our hearts and souls and the legal recognition in British Columbia were cause for much cel ebration, but with each step forward in the fight for marriage equality, there is another celebration in our hearts and home.” A reception is tentatively planned for November.
