Shari, right, and Renee Roll-Currie, at home with their dogs, Rico, a chihuahua, and corgis Kenzi and Fergus, were the first same-sex couple to be legally married in Dane County on June 6, 2014. Although the couple had held a commitment ceremony nine years earlier, "the marriage license gives us a sense of security," Shari said.
