The mister and I just celebrated 20 years of marriage on May 18. To actually celebrate-celebrate with punctuation in the timeline of our lives, we invited a handful of folks to participate in what we were terming 'a ceremony of affirmation'. My father (a retired minister) officiated our ceremony and it was held at the same family ranch where I wrote the first half of Unified Field Theory of Oz - something that has turned out to be much more than merely a paper it would seem. We were very clear we weren't "renewing vows" or re-creating the wedding we never had (we eloped you see). No, we were very conscious about the whole naming convention. In part to manage expectations and also to clarify for ourselves the intention and meaning of our experience. Here's how a truly magical ceremony we co-created went down, if you were a participating flower that is... All photos by me except the one below, taken by our friend Kent. The dress was my grandmother's wedding dress worn only once in 1944. The one and only Tracy Popken (a real Adept of Magic herself) made the adjustments to make it fit me. May all beings be happy and free.
May all beings be happy and free. May all beings be happy and free and may it begin with me. May it be so.
