While most media outlets are noting celebrity gay marriages in California—Star Trek's George Takei!—there's one that's gone as of yet unnoticed. While few have ever seen the privacy-conscious Lifehacker editor Gina Trapani in a dress, according to her Twitter feed, Trapani yesterday bought a little girly summery thing to go femme for her wedding today. "It's not Vivienne Westwood," she typed this morning via IM. Just "a super casual summer dress one would wear to a BBQ—not a big deal." See? Always with the sensible time- and money-saving tricks!

And while technically it's a wedding, as per the California Supreme Court, she's calling it their legalization. Trapani and her partner Terra (pictured above back in 2003) had their commitment ceremony in 2001, so today, on the first full day of California same-gender marriages, the gals are actually just rubber-stamping it.

Trapani, one of Forbes' top 25 web celebs, and editor of what Technorati ranks as the 6th most-popular blog overall, moved to California from New York a few years back, after she was freed from Gawker Media code-slavery and promoted, or demoted, to the position of website editor.

Legalization and long-term commitment, by the way, don't seem to have taken the spice out of their relationship. "Hot day with a hot chick," Trapani recorded in her Twitter back in May. Whoo hoo!

So? Any tips to save time and energy getting gay-married? "Well, first," she typed, "make an appt at the courthouse AHEAD of time if you do it on the first day, so you don't get squeezed out by the rest of the gays squee'ing on the courthouse steps." Sensible!

And also: "Explain to your mother repeatedly, and slowly, and patiently, that your commitment to one another exists whether or not the state recognizes it—but IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME THEY DO."

Trapani also recommends a pre-nuptial agreement, to save time and agony in the event of gay divorce. "Because now if we break up, we actually have to get a divorce." Whaaa? No, of course they didn't actually sign a pre-nup. "But it's fun to think we could."

"For the record," typed Trapani, "I *know* that marriage is a lame institution rooted in religion (I'm an atheist) and patriarchy. BUT, my parents had a great marriage—I watched my Dad come home from work and kiss my Mom hello every evening 34 years into it, genuinely happy to see her—and I wanted that same thing with Terra. (And that's IT—as mushy as I'm getting! Shutting up now!)"
