Also relevant:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

Where in The Constitution does it say that the Federal Government is responsible for (or given premission for) defining marriage? [/B]
No where does it say the Fed. gov. is responsible, but DOMA, A federal thjat circumvents all other law in the country, states the in this case the definition of marriage is relative to each individual state. Give it time, I'm sure within 2 years time it won't be an issue for you guys.
