Saturday evening (8/16) I officiated Jordan and Jesse's
wedding ceremony at Aldredge House in
Jordan and Jesse are two individuals, who are both deep and
thoughtful, and at the same time fun-loving and light-hearted. They started off
as close friends, and held on to that aspect of their relationship, even after
they started dating. They have great senses of humor, and like we comfortably
can do with our truly close friends, they are not afraid of laughing at
themselves, at and with each other.
They each have thought deeply about their relationships with
their spiritual and cultural traditions, and have sought to learn about each
other's. This has enabled them to begin authentically forming their own new
family traditions.
There are though, two very important aspects of every
successful relationship, in which they truly excel. First, they each recognize
that in a loving relationship, if you open yourself up to it, the other person
can help you become a better person. Second, and closely related to this, if
you allow for this, your daily, even mundane, experiences can and do become
elevated through a relationship of true love.
So, Jordan and Jesse, keep it up! Stay serious, but not too
serious, stay friends, learn from each other, and live in the moment. If you
continue to that, you've got it made.
