"I walk you down the aisle, You fill my basket..."

Three years ago okwatanzinone and I were there for each other in a way no one else could be - we were the only ones who truly and completely knew what the other was going through and we created a bond that nothing could ever break.

That summer I introduced him to a new friend of mine.

Yesterday, they were married in a lovely and infectiously joyous ceremony that I was thrilled to be a part of. I am fiercely protective of him, but I am 100% confident that he has found The One and that they are so good for each other.


The ceremony was at the Gates of Heaven - a former synagogue in Madison. It was performed by the Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Shirley Abrahamson (who Scott Walker cronie, David Prosser, called a "total bitch" - sounds like my kind of lady)



The Bride wore red - a second wedding for both of them, they really did a great job at being tactful, tasteful, and genuine. The emphasis was on them, not presents or customs or traditions.



The synagogue is only four blocks from our new place - the easiest wedding I've traveled to!



We walked two blocks up the street for the reception:



The mansion has a beautiful spiral staircase:



Leading up to a cupola with a beautiful view of the city:



We spent a lot of time on the porch, enjoying a beautiful Madison day:



My favorite view :)



By the end of the night we were all getting quite cozy:



Love is in the air :)
