Surrounded in love is a phrase that has been long used. On their wedding day, Ron Lucas and Brian Szura could not feel anything else as family and friends gathered together to celebrate their love for each other at their civil union in Newark. Both partners were literally surrounded by love when they heard the applause of all present when the minister, Brian’s fraternal brother, pronounced them husbands. “A feeling which is exhilarating and unexplainable” as mentioned by a guest who has been with his own partner of eight years.
