Etheridge, Girlfriend Exchange Vows
MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - Grammy-winning singer Melissa Etheridge exchanged vows with her girlfriend, actress Tammy Lynn Michaels, in a weekend ceremony, the singer's publicist said.
``We are so grateful for the blessings from our friends and family as we commence our vows, and begin the rest of our lives together,'' the couple said in a statement Sunday.
The statement described the two as married, although homosexual couples cannot legally marry in California.
Etheridge wore a beaded linen jacket and crepe trousers in Saturday's ceremony while Michaels wore a white lace coat and a white gown. Their platinum and diamond wedding bands were custom-made, the statement said.
Etheridge, 41, and Michaels, the 28-year-old star of TV's ``Popular,'' met two years ago. They live in Southern California with Etheridge's daughter and son.
Etheridge shares custody of the children with former lover Julie Cypher, who had the children through artificial insemination using a sperm donation from rocker David Crosby.
