Great doc on same-sex union

This Oscar nominated documentary short follows a pair of women through their commitment ceremony and the planning that precedes it. Sometimes poignant, sometimes amusing, this beautiful film shows the couple as nothing more or less than two people in love who are committing to a lifetime together. It would be excellent viewing for those struggling to accept a friend's of family member's coming out.
