Wasn't this a wedding blog? As a little aside, I totally heart Dara Torres. She's older than me and still winning medals. She's classy as all get out. Case in point - she has the piece of mind to ask the official to delay the start of her semifinal heat because a fellow competitor tore her swimsuit.
Anyway, in a week and a half, J and I are having what we call our Civilizing Ceremony. We considered this our Civil Union because we were married five and a half years ago. Next Friday, J and I, in the company of some of our immediate family and a few close California friends, will be having our marriage recognized by the state of California. We will have our Civil Union ceremony at the Alameda County Clerk and Recorder's office near where we live. Afterwards, our small party of 12 will be going to Maritime East for a celebratory dinner. There's no caterers, no band, no readings. just us, our family and a few friends and the state of California, recognizing what our large community of friends, co-workers, and extended family affirmed on January 18, 2003.

YAY!!!! I hope you guys take lots of pictures. We'll all be here on the other coast cheering you on!
With the rule that everyone should be a guest at a wedding, we are negotiating with a photographer to take pictures of the Civilizing Ceremony. Part of the deal would be putting up a wedding website
Congratulations! I hope that it's a wonderful day. I am sorry to miss it, but I still have great memories of your original wedding!
