They wanted a wedding ceremony with their friends and family in maryland and it looks like they got their wish and then some. Chris and john join us now. Gentlemen, thanks so much for being here. We appreciate. Thank you. I have to ask you were you confident . Have you guys been involved in the fight in maryland for some time because we know this has been kicked around in the legislature for a while. Weve been through it several times now where weve gone and we were testifying in support of the bill and, of course, we were also there when the bill was stowed away a couple times and then finally we made it through the house, through the senate and made it on to the governors desk and got signed into law and then we knew that we had another struggle and fight coming up when we had the referendum. We got that passed, too. Shawn, were you confident that it would pass that, Maryland Voters would vote yes for gay marriage . I was a little bit scared truthfully. I was concerned that maryland would vote against it. Theres a lot of conservatives, but, however, now that its passed im thrilled. Im so excited. Let me ask you because opponents will still say marriage is supposed to be between a man and woman and will ask whats wrong with just having a civil ceremony if youre still afforded the same rights as a married couple. Let me let you answer, chris. Well, separate but equality is not equal. We have been fighting to have equality, not to take a second class stance and therefore, having marriage just like everybody else is just as important to us as anybody other couple thats out there. Were not looking to impede on any religious group or to step on anyones toes. We feel that our civil marriage is exactly a civil marriage. Religious institutions are still going to have holy matrimon. Two weeks before the election you matrimony. Two weeks before the election you said if this passes you are inviting everybody. Are you Still Holding to that . Yes. Have you picked a date . It looks like april 13th. How are folks going to find out about this . We are still going back and forth on reddit. We started a website which is rileys4equality. Com and thats where were keeping im keeping up on all that with all the information. Theres a little calendar that will let people know how far weve gotten with our planning. Again, were in the preliminary stages now. It just passed, so give us a little chance. We got to get everything figured out here, but its going to be beautiful. Are you guys going to be able to accommodate all the Maryland Voters . Well figure it out. Im guessing if people are watching, theyll be happy to help out because it did pass in maryland. So theres a lot of people out there who are in support. Thank you so much for coming in. Thank you. And by the way, best of luck. Thank you. I want to know what the price is on that open bar. What about the reception, guys . By the way, ill work on the Weather Forecast for you. Maybe the Cherry Blossoms will still be around, too beautiful time of year. A little rain on the radar. Very light rain, either light rain or sprinkles. There might have been a tiny bit of sleet to our south, but everybody is dry for the most part. Thats part of a small disturbance that will eventually clear the clouds out of our area as it gets off the coast. Its the reason we did not have much in the way of sunshine today. I think it will be brighter tomorrow. We go ahead and start with a look at our radar. You can see its mostly clouds. While this looks impressive on this picture, its very light. It will be less than. 1inch for most areas. Well get in closer because it has tried to sneak very lightly into charles county, maybe through st. Marys county, a little portion of calvert. In the yellow areas is where we think sometimes a little sleet shows up, but not a big deal. Its above freezing down there. Maybe a couple sprinkles toward warrenton, but we do expect to see most of this cloud cover as well as the disturbance creating that light rain moving out to sea. You can see that down here. Were kind of on the northern edge. Here come some clear skies breaking out. Bottom line, i think well be back in the good stuff tomorrow with the sunshine. It is rather quiet across the country, too. So no big weather stories to report on in the short term. I think well be able to keep that trend going as we get into the big travel days next week. Sun is back on friday. The weekend forecast isnt bad either. Temperature right now, though is, down to 45 degrees and certainly our suburbs are cooler as they always are. One of the colder spots is winchester at 32 degrees, warmer than last night. Frederick 34, baltimore 42 degrees, annapolis 46. With the cloud cover that well still have in place a few more hours temperatures likely bottoming out in the 30s, 37 d. C. To maybe 40 degrees in fredericksburg, 44 leonardtown and where it get clear faster youll get a little bit colder, too temperatures in the low 30s, right around freezing to our north and west. Tonight 37 degrees, clouds kind of breaking up going away, but again staying rather chilly in the suburbs, tomorrow 53 degrees, great to have the sun back. It pops our temperature up warmer into the low 50s as opposed to the lower 50s we were in today. They still had 51 at reagan national, but it was in the 40s at dulles and bwi. Youll need sunglasses for the Early Morning commute, temperature 41 degrees. By noon were brighter still at 49 and by 4 00 about 52 degrees. Into the weekend with High Pressure mostly in control. As it nuns our system out of the way, it nudges our system out of the way, it will return us to full sunshine tomorrow and it will keep a bit of ridging in place. That keeps at bay another system that will try to develop off the carolinas, a weak system, might get as close as carolina or the Virginia Beach area, but for the most part saturday here probably will be sunny and into sunday portion of the time frame maybe some clouds, but were thinking it will be dry. Some of our latest models suggest sunday should be fairly sunny. Quick look at our futurecast. The system is pulling out of town, by 8 a. M. Sunny west of d. C. , a few clouds east, sunshine for everybody into the afternoon. You can seat system pretty far down to see the system pretty far down to our south on sunday. Your fox 5 accuweather seven day forecast has thanksgiving on it. It got here so fast. There i go. We walked right in. Can we get that sevenday back . Well talk about temperatures in the low 50s where you think by the big travel day the day before thanksgiving, 55 degrees, sunshine and thursday 57 and that is pretty good leading up to thanksgiving. Sometimes we have big storms, makes it tough to travel. This should be an easy week. We need a little easy. Thanks, sue. Time for this weeks 4 down showdown.
