Jason Mraz and his fiancee, Tristan Prettyman are making a huge statement.  They are putting their wedding on hold until gay marriage is legalized.

Jason Mraz is Getting Married!

Mraz was at Elton John’s Concert to Benefit the American Foundation for Equal Rights in Beverly Hills Wednesday when he made the statement,

“We both feel that in our engagement, we have a union that’s really special and cant be broken. It’s a sacred bond.  The wedding would be nice for our family, our friends, our community — our moms especially — and so it puts us in the fight.  We can’t get married until [gay] marriage is legal and equal…I think giving people the right to marry will be a huge movement in civil rights.”

I wonder how, Tristan really feels about this.  I’d be upset.  I understand the cause.  But I also wouldn’t be willing to put my marriage on hold.  I think there’s a lot that can be done for the cause even after the wedding.  What if it takes 10 years?  Will she want to wait forever?
