Wow, I just saw this on our local news. After the bride crossed out "groom" on her form and replaced it with "partner", the idiot store owner left a VM message explaining that the bride's actions are "illegal". :furious: The store is getting bashed and slammed all over the internet. Check it out:

When Alix Genter tried to purchase a dress from the Here Comes the Bride bridal salon in Somers Point, New Jersey, all she left with was another example of just how sexual orientation discrimination can infiltrate even the most happiest of moments.
Though at first she was willing to help, when the store's manager found out that Genter was marrying another woman, she called the couple's pending nuptials an "illegal action," ultimately refusing to sell her the dress of her dreams.
In reality, the only illegal action was that of the store.
