We found each other.

I first met sovay in October 2009, though I didn't know it at the time. I was on the stage of the Somerville Theater performing in The Big Broadcast of 1938 and sovay went, partly because a friend was scoring the show, partly because this kind of history was just her thing, and also to settle a bet over whether or not my "Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour" was an actual piece of Boston radio history or just a good hoax.

( She won the bet. )

We are getting married today in the Somerville Theater because us. I can put it no better than that. It is an interfaith service with my father officiating along with Rabbi Talya Weisbard Shalem. Our rings are simple gold bands, the inside of each engraved with two stars. They represent a binary star system, two stars which orbit each other as they make their journey through space. We did something, however, that binary star systems don't: we were making our own separate paths when our attractions caused radical shifts in orbit. And orbit and journey we shall. When we picked up our rings today, we found that our jeweler, Jade Moran, included a poem.

Binary, fixed in space
One heart emanates from their
light that travels

We found each other.
