Do you have your six ounces of weed on you? Have no fear. You won’t get in trouble.

“We just decided not to wait,” Byrnes said. “We had already been living together and we wanted it to be official.”
They’d just bought a house in Ocean Township, and figured that could accommodate an intimate gathering of immediate family and close friends.
