Nearly three years after moving in together, we will be celebrating with a commitment ceremony. On October 7, 2006 at 11am, Leslie Takahashi-Morris, co-minister at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church will be officiating our ceremony. It will be held in the labyrinth (weather-permitting), behind the Church. Otherwise, we will meet in the Church's sanctuary. Please arrive at the labyrinth promptly at 10:30am for introductions and pictures.

After the ceremony, we will have lunch at the Boar's Head Inn's Old Mill Room. We are excited about taking this next step in our relationship and look forward to your support in body and spirit.
