10 Year Wedding Anniversary

This morning Facebook reminded us that today is our 10th wedding anniversary. It is not our custom to celebrate our anniversary on the calendar day. Instead we choose to acknowledge it on Fathers Day every year. We were married in a big Jewish wedding on Fathers Day, June19, 2005.

We will be celebrating Fathers Day and our anniversary on Sunday. Our oldest daughter is hosting a BBQ at her place in SF.

A kiss, a toast, and cake.

Our big, gay, Jewish wedding was not a legal wedding. That would have to wait until 2008. We had an official California wedding during the brief window it was legal in California before Proposition 8 passed and made it illegal again. The US Supreme Court overturned Prop 8 in June 2013.
