As same-sex weddings are becoming more common, the classic love-story happy ending is taking on a decidedly new twist, everyone has a fresh role to play, and supporters and opponents of gay marriage alike are finding themselves in the midst of a revolution that's redefining marriage--both as a personal choice and as an institution--as we know it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHere Come the Brides!\u003c\/i\u003e, editors Audrey Bilger and Michele Kort gather together the voices of women taking part in-and shaping-this major historical shift.
