An absolutely beautiful day in every way....congratulations Eve Goldberg and life partner Ellen! It was a wedding full of song and spoken word and dance and food and friendship and love.

8 wedding cakes - count'em, EIGHT! (to signify the number of years they've had together, and also the total number of letters in their first names). Each cake was made in an 'E' shape and decorated in a special way by its baker (I ate from the one with the garden path).

Every detail of the celebration spelled community - the potluck, the table moving, the dishes washing, the music making, the sound technicians, the dance caller, the photography, the MCs, everything - even the table decorations, which were herbs (rosemary, basil and thyme) with oragami birds flying over them, were made by one of the guests.   

I am so blessed to have been a part of your day, Eve and Ellen. CONGRATULATIONS and may you have many years of love together.
