I was kissing my best friend, right after her brother married us.

I’ll be brief today and just say that I don’t take partnership lightly. It isn’t for everyone, and it is absolutely a privilege to find someone who loves you as much as you love them. I am happy I found someone, and I am thankful she found me.

A poem from our wedding day:

Hug O' War
a poem by the late Shel Silverstein

I will not play at tug o' war
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses
And everyone grins
And everyone cuddles
And everyone wins.
