The
Santa Barbara Independent's Robby Robbins, who is AAN's Classified Advertising Chair, was married on July 2 to longtime partner Bryan O'Quinn as part of the
Express' Wedding Wednesdays promotion. The paper chose six couples to be married to celebrate same-sex couples' newfound right to legally marry in California. In attendance at the July 2 ceremony were a number of
Independent staffers who drove up from Santa Barbara, as well as Gloria Mock, advertising director of North Carolina's
Independent Weekly, where Robbins previously worked. "Bryan and I are so grateful to the
East Bay Express, [publisher] Jody Colley, and all
their partners/vendors for making this wonderful time more spectacular than
we could ever have imagined," Robbins tells AAN News via email.
