Married and Counting
Narrated by George Takei. For 25 years, Pat and Stephen have loved and cared for each other, for better and worse, in sickness and in health. Since 45 states and the federal government refuse to acknowledge their relationship, they embark on a cross country 'wedding tour,' getting married in every state that will let them.

The stress of planning just one wedding can be almost enough to tear some couples apart, but Stephen and Pat must plan seven weddings and a road-trip to culminate in their final nuptials on the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington, DC. Along the way, they find acceptance from strangers, rejection from loved ones, and discover that no distance is too far to go to prove that their marriage counts.

For a year, the grooms allowed the filmmaker to travel with them, sharing their most intimate moments with the camera. The documentary is part road-trip romantic comedy, part political protest, and all love story.
