So it’s Saturday night here in California, and the topic for me is the best news of all, my upcoming wedding. We’re waist-deep in preparations for what is going to be a moderately small (120-person) wedding; but we’re getting to use a very cool venue – I can’t say more without risking the pseud, sadly – and we’re the first wedding that’s been held there. So everything is an issue. What can we do, given union rules, without needing staff for a full day? Exactly where can the chairs go, and will the fire marshall approve? And so on…we’ve almost got all the issues knocked down.
And tonight, as I’m relaxing from a day of faxes and calls, while TG is away at a concert, I get to think about what we’re doing it all for.
Because in a week, we will stand in front of our friends and family, and united as a community, TG and I will both get to share the joy we find in each other and take public responsibility for each other and our relationship.
But it’s not the responsibility, but the joy that I want to talk about; it’s the amplification of joy that takes place when you stand in a circle of people who care about you – and who you care about – and they focus their attention on you and the joy that you’re feeling right then.
And I’m anticipating that joy quite a bit.
For the next week, I’ll be busy, and then for a while I’ll be gone.
As I’ve said in the past, please try not to kill each other or blow anything up while I’m gone.
Mazel tov!
And thank you again for the nice boost Sunday.

Go for it!

Best wishes!
Great news! Congradulations!
Steph and I lived together for some 8 months before we actually got married. We’d known each other for 7 years before that. And still, somehow, the marriage ceremony amplified and cemented our love for each other. It’s a wonderful and wondrous experience.
Most heart-felt congratulations to you both.
