Anna Liisa,

I choose you as my partner in life. With you by my side, life is brighter, sweeter, deeper, more intense, more fun.  You have called me out to be stronger and greater, and have allowed me to completely relax and let go of needing to be any way. I love your depth, your brilliance, your creativity, your commitment, your playfulness, your beauty, your emotions.  I love you, all of you. I choose you because we are both better people for being together, and my life is so much better for having you in it.

On this day, I am taking your hand in marriage, and committing myself to you, as witnessed by all our friends, family, and loved ones.  I offer the following to you, in our lives together.

I will share with you my thoughts, my body, and my heart, fully and completely.
I will love and honor you, accepting everything about you, yet standing for you being all that I know you to be.
I will open my heart to you, be truthful and honest, and let you in to see me in all the places that feel great, and all the places that feel scary.
I will lead and guide our relationship and our family with all I have to offer. I will bring my strength, my mind, my creativity, and my integrity to our life together, so we will grow and thrive.
I will stand for our health and our bodies, so we grow old together feeling vital and alive.
I will bring passion and playfulness, to keep the spark of our relationship alive, and the embers glowing hot.
I will be by your side as we laugh, and as we cry.
I will bring willingness to whatever our future holds; willingness to open, willingness to trust, willingness to grow and step into the unknown.

You are my partner, my lover, my match.  You are the person I will grow old with, I will create a family with, and whose hand I will hold as the years pass by.

I give to you all of myself; fully, completely, and gladly.

Vows to Community

To you, our community, we as husband and wife commit to supporting each of you in having what your hearts most deeply desire.
We are a stand for you having deep and loving relationships.
We stand for you living passionate, full, authentic lives.
We stand for a world of beauty, interconnectedness, passion, and joy.

I love it when SF is in the 70s in November. Near the Cafe is a small market called Bi-Rite. Next door, apparently one of the neighbors has been having trouble with people blocking her driveway, and has taken matters in her own hands, with this sign:

Parking Sign

I love this city.

For now,  this will be a placeholder.  Eventually, there will likely be some content, once I have a better idea of what sort of online identity I want to create.
