We’ve been down in LA this weekend toasting our engagement with Family and friends, and it’s really been a treat.

I’ll Drink To That
Apr
2008
The California Supreme Court had overturned the ban on gay marriages. You should know, that when the news hit, I was at my computer, hitting refresh on my New York Times browser. (I might like talking about weddings, but in real life, I’m a political junkie). I was so overjoyed that I teared up, and David is still reading all 108 pages of the decision. We each celebrate in our own ways.
Hopefully it will still be legal next August. It’s important to remember we have a long road ahead of us.
**Update: we just got back from The Castro, since we thought today would be a nice day, symbolically, to pick up my wedding ring, which was getting resized. A store had a sign up with a rainbow flag that said ‘Proud to be a Californian’ and I teared up all over again.**

So, In This Instance tagged me ages ago, and I'm just getting to it now. I actually got tagged on a weird survey that asked me if I was single, and then later asked me when my wedding date was, which made me think they had been drinking while writing the questions. So, to heck with that, I'm going to play the game where I tell you 4 things you didn't know about me. Lets commence!
1) I read The Economist. In bed. Not a punch line, totally true. I'm that kind of a political junky. I like my New York Times in the morning, and my Economist at night.
2) You know how I write sort of, um, sassy posts? Yeah. I'm like that in real life.
3) If I had a superhero power, it would be networking. Like, I would change into a cocktail dress in a phone booth pull a wine glass from my purse and *Work That Room*
4) David and I knew each other in High School. While we were definitely friends, we didn't get along terribly well. So don't worry, it's not that kind of a romantic story.

Just Back…
Aug
2008
I'm just back from our vacation at Bodega Bay. The nights were full of stars and s'mores, and it was good to get away. If you live in Northern California, and haven't waded in the Russian River, you must go right away!I haven't had time to pull my thoughts together, but until then, I'll leave you with this treat. I posted on wedding music hoping that someone would send me a Klezmer wedding march, and, Internet, you didn't fail me. Here it is, thanks to a lovely reader: the wedding march by Klezmer fiddler Alicia Svigals, more perfect for me then you could ever imagine.

They are up, they are up! Peony has put up the first of many pictures of her stunningly beautiful wedding. You all must go look, right away. There are so many nice things you could say about this wedding, about how it was stylish, super-budget and chic, but really, no one should talk about anything but the radiant joy on their faces. Cara said, "The small details that we spend so long thinking about really faded into nothingness on the day. " Amen. May it be so.As for me, I am winging my way down to Los Angeles for a very informal little engagement party in my parents delightful backyard, and then some time by the pool. Thank you for all your support this week, in comments and emails. Rebecca gave such excellent perspective on weddings and life when she said, "we all have to nurse some grief about losing our concept of how we hoped things would be and making the most of how things will have to be."
