DENVER _ One woman wore a long white dress suit and carried a bouquet of flowers. The other wore a black dress suit, with a boutonniere pinned at her chest.

The July wedding ceremony in Windsor, Ontario, fulfilled a dream for Charlotte Egler, 31, and Dawn Egler, 28, a lesbian couple living just outside Indianapolis.

At last they're legally married, somewhere.

The women's relationship has spanned six years; they say they're deeply in love.

This isn't the first time the Eglers have taken vows. In the past four years, they have been united in an Indianapolis church, joined in a mass wedding ceremony in Washington, and committed through a civil union in Burlington, Vt.

"It's a spiritual thing: We wanted the blessing of Christ on our relationship," said Charlotte, who works for a drug company and grew up in southern Indiana, as did Dawn. Dawn took Charlotte's last name early on in their relationship to publicly affirm their commitment.
