By the Power Vested

This morning, we pledged our friendship, support, understanding, and love to each other, for good times and bad, for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health.

This time around (nearly three years after our commitment ceremony) when we were pronounced married, it was legally binding. We’ve got the paperwork — two copies of a Certificate of Marriage, with the original placed on file with the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics — to prove it.

I had no idea how good those words, heard so often on television, heard at other people’s weddings, would sound when directed to us: by the power vested. This time, it went like this: “By the power vested in me by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Justice of the Peace, but most important of all, by the power of your own love, I now pronounce that you are married.”

Paperwork never felt so good.

Congratulations

Just stumbling through. Peace.

Congratulations to both of you, and many blessings for many years to come.

Congratulations! I know that the two of you were strongly committed to each other already, and that won’t change, but this cements it even further in the eyes of the world.

Just a note of thanks from dad and I for letting us share your special day. It was both magical and wonderful, it filled my heart with joy and my eyes with tears. I know Jane was there with us smiling with pride. We all love you. You are very special women and I am honored to be part of your lives. Love Mom

Yay!
