A photo taken 12 years ago today:

It was a good day overall. I’ve described it here before. We are thinking about that day fondly, and feeling rather sharply the absence of one of the wedding party, our ringbearer, seen here in his black bowtie waiting to walk down the aisle:

   Oh, and that good-looking guy holding Zeke is Jim, my mom’s partner.

   There’s a delightful modesty in the photo of you and Becky.  I particularly like the way each of you have your feet planted firmly together. 

   Zeke…best man, ever.

   Happy anniversary, Becky and Chris!  May you have many, many more to come.

   And my compliments on your simply matchless taste in ringbearers.  Exquisite!

   Congratulations!  You guys make such a handsome couple, even without the air of hippiness via facial hair.

   I never met Zeke in person, but feel like I got to know him so well. What a special dog!

   May you celebrate many more anniversaries!!

    Happy Anniversary!

    Zeke was a part of every part of your life, wasn’t he?  Such a good dog.

    happy anniversary, chris and becky!

    that zekers, he was the dog.

    the account of your wedding reminded me so much of ours.  [i looked into the brazilian room, but it turned out you have to plan ahead much better than we did.]  the only part that we didn’t do ourselves was the cake; i barely got the dress done in time, and my sister and i spent days pretending we were caterers, decorators, and florists.  food supplies via berkeley bowl.  stemware borrowed from sister’s job.  processional by the brother-in-law who played piano; mix tape by my sisters; photography by everyone who remembered a camera.  my husband would be insanely jealous of you for having canine participation.

    happy anniversary, and many, many more!

    Handsome and suitably distinguished ... you couldn’t ask for more from a ringbearer.

    I still think of Becky every time I smell sage.

    Happy anniversary.  I love you.

    I missed your anniversary.  Happy Heteronormativity! 

    Becky looks so beautiful in that picture.  I love her dress.  And Zeke…aw, him a good dog. 

    Kisses.

    Congratulations to you both from a 16-year-long resident of Heteronormativityville! 

    We considered having our dog Friday be a ring bearer but settled for including him in about half the pictures taken that day.
