"Finding a queer-friendly Twogether in Texas course was stressful until we found Cadenza. The whole process was the most stress-free course I've ever taken. We printed the PDF certificate, brought it to the Travis County courthouse, and instantly got our $60 discount and skipped the 72-hour wait for our same-sex license."

"This course is amazing. Very clear and concise. It's truly inclusive and representative of all types of unions. It was so refreshing to take a course that actually felt like it was made for two women. We took our certificate to the Dallas County Clerk and they accepted it instantly. Highly recommended!"
