Sappy post--look out

Our second anniversary is coming up in a day or two, and I hope to see a great many more. These are pictures taken of our wedding in among the redwoods in the Avenue of the Giants of northern California. We didn't know before we left where exactly we would be married, but we knew that a place would speak to us when we reached it. This large, hollowed-out redwood tree is actually two formed into one, reaching up high into the heavens. We had brought along our great friend and common spirit Dirk to do the ceremony. He sanctified the area by smoking sage and spoke of our ties with these great trees, the future, the present, the importance of this day. It's unfortunate we infuriated many family members and friends by leaving them behind while we chose to seek out this day alone, but it was to be OUR day, and the pilgrimage to seek out a spiritual place rich enough to symbolize our love was incredibly important to us.
